WBA (Regular) lightweight champion Gervonta Davis recently defended his title against Junior lightweight champion Hector Luis Garcia. The fight that took place on 7th January was somewhat of a tune-up fight for ‘Tank’ who will look to face his longstanding rival Ryan Garcia in April.
However, despite many thinking that the fight will just be some practice for Davis and prepare him for his actual challenge, he certainly didn’t leave any stone unturned when it came to this fight. Moreover, this was on full display after Daivs decided to arrive at the fight venue in an actual tank-like truck.

Davis has been under a lot of fire in the past week after some serious allegations against him were made. However, despite being arrested Davis was let out on a $1000 bail and was cleared to face Luis Garcia.
Now, the champ will look to add another win to his undefeated record even if he didn’t seem too concentrated on the fight itself given the drama surrounding him. However, the fans were not so considerate of Davis as they trolled him for this flamboyant entrance.
