American Ryan Garcia during the announcement press conference dedicated to his fight against compatriot Gervonts Davis, told how difficult it was to organize their confrontation.
“We came together and defeated this poisoning that keeps boxing from getting big fights. It wasn't easy, but we found a way.
For me, to become a champion you have to beat the best, and it's not about titles, it's about who you beat. I put boxing and the fans first. We had to accept many conditions for our fight to take place. But then I said: “If I put myself in the first place, then I must immediately refuse.” I just have the character of a champion.
It was difficult to put everything together. Usually for fights of this magnitude it is too late, or one of the fighters has long passed his peak of form. Boxing has been waiting for this event for a long time. It's really impossible to have a bigger confrontation than this right now. Definitely a very important moment for both of us. This is our legacy. Finally, the two best fighters will meet in the ring, ”Bad Left Hook quotes Garcia.
Recall that the fight between Garcia and Davis is scheduled for April 22 in Las Vegas.
