### Gervonta Davis Teases Rematch with Ryan Garcia
Gervonta Davis has hinted at a potential rematch with Ryan Garcia, a bout that promises to reignite one of boxing’s most talked-about rivalries. Davis and Garcia last faced each other in a high-stakes showdown, with Davis stopping Garcia in the seventh round. The fight, which sold over 1.2 million pay-per-views and generated a gate of over $20 million, was the highest-grossing event of 2023, underscoring the immense demand for their match-up.
Davis, who will defend his WBA Lightweight Title against Frank Martin on June 15, recently revealed that he has signed a 6-7 fight deal with Premier Boxing Champions (PBC). This deal aims to secure bouts with some of the biggest names in the sport, and a rematch with Garcia appears to be a priority.
Meanwhile, Ryan Garcia is coming off the best win of his career, having dropped Devin Haney three times en route to a majority decision victory. However, Garcia’s triumph has been clouded by controversy after he tested positive for Ostarine, a banned substance that enhances stamina and muscle while reducing fat. Garcia maintains his innocence, pointing out that his B sample returned negative. Team Haney is pushing for the result to be overturned and Garcia to be disqualified.
Despite the controversy, Davis has shown support for Garcia, expressing his belief in Garcia’s innocence. Recently, Davis hinted at a rematch by responding to Garcia’s social media post with three devil emojis. Garcia has also expressed his desire for a rematch, feeling that the terms of their first fight—specifically the 136-pound catchweight and ten-pound rehydration clause—put him at a disadvantage. He insists that any future bout should occur at 140 pounds or higher.
Should Davis emerge victorious against Martin, Garcia has made it clear that he wants their rematch to be the next fight.
### Future Prospects
Both fighters have their eyes on bigger challenges and marquee matchups, but the possibility of a Davis-Garcia rematch remains a tantalizing prospect for boxing fans. The previous bout’s success and the ongoing narrative between the two fighters ensure that their next encounter would be one of the most anticipated events in the sport.
For now, the boxing world waits to see if Davis can get past Frank Martin and set the stage for another blockbuster clash with Ryan Garcia.
