WBA (Regular) Lightweight champion Gervonta Davis is gearing up for the biggest fight of his career. The two-division champion will face his arch-rival Ryan Garcia in April after almost two years of back and forth between the two pugilists. Both ‘Tank’ and ‘KingRy’ are two of the best Lightweight prospects in the world and were always in talks about fighting each other.

However, now the fight has been finally booked for April 22 in the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. This has given boxing fans something to be excited about after a lackluster 2022 in terms of big fights. Moreover, celebrities and stars have all come out with their predictions for this fight including Michael B. Jordan who revealed who he would choose in this upcoming super fight.

Recently, Jordan was asked who he would choose as his favorite to win the fight. Unsurprisingly Jordan said, ‘Tank‘. When asked why he thinks Davis would win the fight he shut down the reporter with just two words. “Why Not?” he added

Jordan has been an avid boxing fan which is shown in his latest movie. Moreover, even Davis had high praise for Creed III on Twitter which he later deleted. Now, ‘Tank’ has even responded to Jordan picking him over Garcia to win.

Jordan definitely a great actor. Definitely appreciate him for having me over, Queen Ryan,” he said.

Davis certainly looks confident in his chances heading into the fight. However, Garcia is also no pushover in any sense. The pre-fight banter adds to the entertainment value of the event and Davis knows perfectly well how to play mind games.
