Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia are talking about fighting each other again. The two boxers faced off in April 2023, and now they're trying to set up a rematch. But they can't agree on how much they should weigh for the fight.
Their first match was a big deal. It happened at the Barclays Center in New York. Davis won by knocking out Garcia in the 7th round. He dropped Garcia in the 2nd round and then finished the job with a body shot in the 7th. Garcia couldn't get up before the referee finished counting.
Now, Garcia wants to fight at 144 pounds. He says he felt too drained at the lower weight last time. He made his thoughts clear on social media:
"Everyone wanna talk about the little stupid Tank. Let's fight. Enough of that funny talk. Come see me at 144 and let's stop the talk."
But Davis doesn't want to go that high. He'd rather fight at 140 pounds, which is the official super-lightweight limit. In an interview with ESNews, Davis explained his thinking:
"Yeah [it's a massive fight]. But not at 143 [or 144], why 143? Probably at 140, that's the next weight class up from 135, it's the weight class he fights at. Let's do 140 and he can rehydrate back up to 150, or the most 152, I'm 135 brother."
If they can't agree, Davis might look elsewhere for his next fight. Shakur Stevenson could be an option. But for now, fans will have to wait and see if Davis and Garcia can work out their weight disagreement and make the rematch happen.
