Former six-division champion and boxing promoter Oscar De La Hoya seems ready to finally see Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis meet in the ring. For years boxing fans have wanted to see the two lightweight rivals face each other after a long back and forth between the two. Moreover, it looks like the wishes might just come true in 2023 as the bout is more or less confirmed.
Gervonta Davis was recently part of huge controversy after reports of an alleged assault emerged. ‘Tank’ was even arrested days before his tune-up fight against Hector Luis Garcia which led many to believe that he won’t fight for the foreseeable future. However, he was released after a day of questioning and proceeded to make quick work of Luis Garcia in the fight. Moreover, he was quick to call out ‘KingRy’ following the match. Now, with this bout under the radar, De La Hoya has come out trying to promote the fight on his social media.
