Davis Garcia Fight Week Schedule Set In Las Vegas

Fight fans are counting down the days until the biggest bout of the 2023 boxing season so far. In Las Vegas, events are ramping up for Gervonta “Tank” Davis versus Ryan “King” Garcia.

While other top matchups are still awaiting agreements, dates, and venues, five-time, three-division champion Tank Davis of Baltimore (28-0, 26 KOs) and undefeated, hard-hitting fan favorite Ryan Garcia of Los Angeles (23-0, 19 KOs) walked the talk and got the fight on the calendar. Whatever the outcome, both should be acknowledged for getting their fight over the finish line.
