Ryan Garcia claims Gervonta Davis seeks rematch at 147 pounds

Ryan Garcia announced that Gervonta Davis reached out for a potential rematch after Garcia's recent victory over Conor Benn. The WBC welterweight champion insists the fight must occur at 147 pounds and wants Davis to first undertake a tune-up fight. Following their April 2023 encounter, where Davis won by stoppage, Garcia has been firm about the weight, stating that any negotiation must respect this limit. Davis had previously suggested a weight of 140 pounds but increased it to 144 after discussions. The dialogue surrounding the rematch adds another layer to an already heated rivalry in boxing, with both fighters expressing eagerness to face each other again.
