Gervonta Davis has appeared to accept Ryan Garcia's fight call-out on social media after his rival knocked out Javier Fortuna.
Garcia and Davis have traded verbal barbs since their respective rises in the sport, with fans calling for the pair to step in the ring and settle their differences. There have always been obstacles to the fight as Davis is signed to Premier Boxing Champions and Garcia is contracted to Golden Boy Promotions.
On Saturday night, Garcia put in another powerful display, dispatching Fortuna with three knockdowns en route to the win. And he immediately took to the microphone after his victory to take aim at his long-term foe. “100 per cent, I felt way better," Garcia responded when asking about his 5lb weight increase. "I’m not going back down to 135 for nothing, but I will fight Tank [Davis] next.
