Gervonta Davis vs Ryan Garcia Rematch

After serving a year-long suspension, Ryan Garcia's fame became an attractive factor for Gervonta Davis to decide on a rematch. This forms part of his 2025 retirement tour, following the excitement generated by their first fight in April 2023. In that fight, $1.2 million was raised in PPV, with Tank's estimated purse exceeding $50 million compared to $30 million for KingRy. Despite being the challenger, Ryan Garcia earned a significant amount due to his over 12 million followers on Instagram. The purse was the main reason for Gervonta Davis choosing Ryan Garcia over other opponents like Shakur Stevenson. Although Stevenson might have been a more challenging opponent, Davis might consider him for the final chapter of his career.
