The exchange did not end there; Elie asked, “Why?” To this, Jordan replied, “Why not.”

It seems like Jordan is adamant about supporting Davis in his bout with Garcia, and it is safe to say that he probably has a good reason behind his choice. The tensions for this fight are high. The super-middleweight undisputed champ Canelo Alvarez himself has predicted his favourite for this sensational lightweight bout.

Michael B Jordan stays up to date with all the developments in boxing and has a good understanding of the sport. Before the fight between Paul and Fury, the 36-year-old actor predicted Fury to win, and his prediction prevailed. It would be exciting to see whether his prediction for this bout stands because Ryan is a difficult opponent to get through for Davis, and the fans can expect a thrilling show when these two step into the ring.
