The superfight between Gervonta 'Tank' Davis and Ryan Garcia has finally been announced as the bitter rivals will meet on April 22 in Las Vegas.
Davis and Garcia will meet at a catchweight of 136lb on Showtime pay-per-view, but a venue for the fight in Sin City is yet-to-be-announced. The MGM Grand Garden Arena and T-Mobile Arena are the most likely venues, but the 70,000 seat Allegiant Stadium has also been discussed. 'Tank' confirmed the fight on Friday when he tweeted: "April 22, 2023 Las Vegas, it’s on!"
A fight between the lightweight standouts has been proposed for years and tensions have been ramping up between them in recent months. Garcia labelled his rival "h**" on Twitter last month and said "he can’t hold a conversation for longer than five minutes". Davis is unbeaten in 23 professional fights and has held the WBA lightweight title since 2019, whilst Garcia has an unbeaten record of 23 fights.
