The star lightweight Ryan Garcia has been demanding a contest against his rival lightweight champion Gervonta Davis for years. However, his words could not alter the mindset of the southpaw gun. He remained silent and did what he was supposed to do.
But since Garcia had made a rocking comeback and defeated two pugilists back-to-back, one being Emmanuel Tagoe and the other being the former world champion Javier Fortuna, his tone of calling out Davis has become intense. He is more aggressive and eager to take a shot against Floyd Mayweather’s protégé.

Regarding this, ‘The Flash‘ took to Twitter and targeted Davis. He made a bunch of provocative remarks about the three-weight class champion so that the latter agrees to materialize the highly anticipated showdown. However, like earlier ‘Tank’ kept himself away from engaging in insulting verbal warfare with Garcia.
But finally, he broke his silence yesterday.
Michael Benson of TalkSport reported it on Twitter. He wrote, “Gervonta Davis on Ryan Garcia: “I haven’t been going back and forth with Ryan because we all know he’s not a man of his word, but I do know it’s a possibility of the fight happening. So I’d rather stay quiet till the deal is locked. Nothing means anything now.”
