Ryan Garcia (22-0, 18 KOs) continues to demand a fight with Gervonta Davis (27-0, 25 KOs) at lightweight, which he thinks both of them can make good money for.
At the moment, all four lightweight championship belts belong to Devin Haney, but in the media, King Rye and Tank have more popularity than the absolute champion. Anyway, Davis has been performing on PPV for some time now. Garcia is connected to the DAZN platform but can count on his huge social media reach.
For now, the 23-year-old boxer will face Javier Fortuna (37-3-1, 26 KOs). The fight is scheduled to take place this Saturday in Los Angeles. In the event of a convincing victory, the door to the duel against Davis may open for Garcia.
“Our fight would mean a lot to this sport. I am sure that after the fight with Fortune, my next opponent will be Davis. I have amassed a large following and so has he, but I have the impression that we both achieved popularity in different groups, and if we join forces, I think together we will sell over half a million pay-per-views. In my opinion, 500,000 PPV is the minimum that we will do together,” Garcia said.
