Davis–Garcia Rematch Never Happened
The boxing world is buzzing with speculation about a potential rematch between Gervonta “Tank” Davis (30–0–1, 27 KOs) and Ryan “KingRy” Garcia had added a win over Oscar Duarte, 19 KOs). Their first clash on April 22, 2023, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, ended with Davis delivering a crushing body shot knockout in the seventh round, handing Garcia his first professional loss.
Since then, fans have been clamoring for a second showdown, hoping to see Garcia redeem himself and Davis solidify his dominance. Both fighters have hinted at their interest in a rematch, but the path to making it happen is far from straightforward.
Garcia has expressed his desire for the rematch to take place at welterweight (147 lbs), a move that would require Davis to step up from his current weight class. Davis, on the other hand, has reportedly demanded a $150 million purse for the rematch, a figure that has raised eyebrows across the boxing community.
This fight marks Garcia’s comeback after a one-year suspension for testing positive for a banned substance.
Meanwhile, Davis has a bout scheduled against Lamont Roach Jr. on March 1, 2025, at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. With both fighters actively competing, the possibility of a rematch later this year remains alive.
