SYNOPSIS

After announcing his fight against Ryan Garcia, Gervonta Davis also revealed that he will fight another opponent first on January 7, 2023. Later on November 18, 2022, Davis announced via Instagram that he will fight Hector Luis Garcia on that date in Washington, D.C. ESPN’s Mike Coppinger added that the fight will air on Showtime PPV, and Davis will put his WBA(Regular) Lightweight Championship on the line.

Davis, undefeated with 27-0 record, was last active against Rolando Romero in May 2022 to knock him out in the sixth round to retain his WBA title. Davis is considered one of the best boxers of this generation and has held World titles in three different weight classes.

Hector Garcia is the current WBA Super Featherweight Champion and also holds a 16-0-3 undefeated record. He won that title in his last bout against Roger Gutiérrez in August 2022. Despite his record, Hector Garcia is not considered a major threat to Davis and a win for him will be considered a big upset. This fight is mainly considered a tune-up fight for Davis before he faces Ryan Garcia in a 136 lbs catchweight bout later in 2023.
