“I am already the face of this sport, I replaced Canelo in this place,” said Gervonta Davis (28-0, 26 KOs) on the eve of a landmark fight in his career, two weeks from Ryan Garcia (23-0, 19 KOs).

“Canelo is one of the best fighters in the world, he is the only one who can match me, but he is slowly fading away. I sincerely believe that today I am the face of boxing. Every time I dominate my opponents and show a great performance. I like to show some technique and footwork, but people want to see a little bit of everything with a knockout at the end. I give it to them every time, which makes me a star above everyone else, ”said Davis.

On April 22 in Las Vegas, Davis will face another major media star, although there will be no championship belt at stake. "Tank" and "King Rai" will fight within the contract limit of 61.7 kg.
