The undefeated boxers meet Saturday night in Las Vegas at a catchweight of 136 pounds in a nontitle main event.
The unbeaten, charismatic knockout specialists are in the prime of their careers and competing at a catchweight of 136 pounds. Hall of Famer Oscar De La Hoya, whose Golden Boy Promotions counts Garcia as its marquee client, is expecting big things even without a title at stake.
Davis thus retained his WBA lightweight belt Jan. 7 while setting the record for live gate ticket revenue at Capital One Arena and continued a run of sellouts in major markets such as Los Angeles, New York and Atlanta.“I feel like this fight is big for the sport,” Davis, 28, said during a workout in Las Vegas. “We’re drawing a lot of people, and a win on that night is really like winning a world title again. This is going to be spectacular. It’s going to be two young guys who are hungry.
In February 2020, Davis was charged with simple battery domestic violence in Coral Gables, Fla., stemming from a video showing him putting his hands around the neck of the mother of his child and pulling her out of her seat during a charity basketball game.
