Ryan Garcia Says He Won’t Compete Again Following Javier Fortuna Fight Unless This Happens

Ryan Garcia is set to face Javier Fortuna on July 16 at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California. The fight was in talks for almost a year, but it’s finally happening now. Garcia reportedly revealed his next opponent during the press conference before his fight with Fortuna. Here’s a look at what he had to say.

Garcia’s next desired opponent is none other than Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis. ’The Flash KingRy’ made a rather bold statement by saying, “We’re gonna go after Tank. I’m gonna go beat his a** and I promise you that.”

Tank Davis is one of the most talked-about boxers of this generation. Despite the fact that the press conference was focused on Garcia vs. Fortuna, spectators became even more enthralled when Davis’ name was mentioned.

A reporter further asked Garcia, “How bad do you wanna fight Tank?”

To which he replied, “Obviously, I don’t want to look past Fortuna too much. But yeah, that’s all I want, that’s all I see. I don’t care about nobody else right now. The fans want it, I’m sure of that, and I want it, and he was screaming at me all last fight, I’m next. So be a man of your word. Let it be next. And I don’t hear nothing else, I don’t want to hear nobody else’s name, I don’t care about that. I care about Gervonta Davis. Bring it on, that’s what I want.”
