“F-ck the tune up,” Ryan Garcia posted on social media Friday. “Bring on Tank. SPARKING HIM OUT IN 2.” And so, identical to that, the favored, undefeated and arduous hitting Garcia made it clear that he won’t be preventing anybody else earlier than dealing with Gervonta Davis in 2023. Garcia was presupposed to be dealing with veteran Mauricio Gesta beforehand, however he had clearly had second ideas. “Been thinking about it,” he posted, “during the time they were figuring out this fight and I feel the fans and everyone who supports boxing have seen these tune ups already it’s time that we give the fans what they want. Also he requested the tune up not me so let him handle business. LETS GO.”
Although Garcia and Davis are set to face one another in 2023 – at a time and place but to be decided – Davis has determined to first face Hector Luis Garcia on January seventh. Although his undefeated January opponent could be too certified to be considered a tune-up it’s apparent that Davis sees this as a keep busy struggle. Garcia, who clearly noticed a struggle with Gesta as being a tune-up, has opted as a substitute to not take his probabilities. And some would say with good motive. “The right call,” Arliel Helwani tweeted. “Why delay? Deliver it now. Too much can go wrong.”
Garcia and Davis thrilled the struggle world again in November after they introduced to the general public that they might certainly be throwing down in 2023. “I’m so pumped this fight is finally in place,” Ryan Garcia posted on social media. “I want it more than anything right now. I’ve put in the work, I’m at the prime of my career, and I know I’m going to be the biggest boxer in the world. That legacy starts today.”
One of the explanations information of the approaching Garcia-Davis battle was so welcome, apart the truth that it’s a terrific pairing, is as a result of boxing as a sport had been actually letting the followers down. Talks for a late 2023 Tyson Fury-Anthony Joshua bout fell aside, as did negotiations for a Errol Spence-Terence Crawford superfight that was already nearly at its sell-by date. The information of two excessive degree, thrilling fighters of their primes agreeing to sq. off within the upcoming months was precisely what was wanted for followers of the candy science. Here’s hoping nothing will preserve the Garcia-Davis struggle from really changing into a actuality.
