The long-awaited clash will take place on Saturday evening Ryan Garcia (23-0, 19 KOs) with Gervonta Davis (28-0, 26 KOs). Maybe in the future Vasily Lomachenko (17-2, 11 KOs) will meet the best of this pair, and the Ukrainian shared his opinion about who he considers the favorite of this fight.

The fight will take place within the contractual limit of 61.7 kilograms. On the day of the fight, both fighters will be weighed again, according to the terms of the contract, they will not be able to gain more than 4.5 kilograms. And according to Lomachenko, this may turn out to be a decisive factor.

“There is one fact about this fight that favors Davis. Garcia is a very big guy for lightweight, he races a lot, so the second weigh-in clause makes Davis my favorite, ”said Lomachenko, who will try to take all four lightweight titles from Devin Haney (29-0, 15 KOs) on May 20 .
