Oscar De La Hoya announced that his promotional organization Golden Boy Promotions had begun negotiations on the fight of his boxer Ryan Garcia (23-0, 19 KOs) with Gervonta Davis (27-0, 25 KOs).
King Rye started challenging Tank for a fight about immediately after he knocked out Rolando Romero. Garcia's statements did not go unnoticed. The Baltimore boxer announced his readiness to fight this year, and Floyd Mayweather Jr. hinted that this fight should be easy for Gervonta.
“Everyone wants this fight. This is the only fight Ryan wants. This is the only fight Davis wants. We are negotiating. Yes, we are just talking for now, but this is a great start. Being able to talk to the other side is a great start. We want a fight, and that's the main thing. In the course of negotiations, we can already announce something, but for now we keep everything a secret, because we want to surprise everyone with such a great fight. It can take place already this year,” said the former world champion in six weight categories.
