The inaugural press conference for the fight between Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis took place in New York City and despite all the forecasts and the apparent hatred that exists between the two, respect prevailed before the cameras.
The first to get on the podium was Tank, who praised the young García for not shying away from the fight that all the fans have been asking for for a few years, but which until recently was confirmed after bickering between promoters, television stations, sponsors and the fans themselves. protagonists.
“I’ve been boxing since I was 7 years old. I was up against a lot in my childhood. I’m happy to be a part of this moment and share the ring with a young fighter like Ryan who dares to dream big. He went after this fight and the April 22 will have to prove it,” Davis said.
For his part, Ryan Garcia showed the same respect for Tank’s career, who so far remains undefeated and is considered one of the most dangerous champions today.
“To be a champion you have to beat the best. It’s not about the titles, it’s about who you beat. It’s proof of the respect I have for him as a fighter. I think he’s one of the best and I’ve always had this mentality since I was a kid in the amateur plane. I never thought about the weight of the division, only in the names”.
It will be on April 22 in Las Vegas at a catch weight of 136 pounds when two different styles clash in the 12-round ring to claim the star status that both are fighting for.
