Undefeated lightweight champs collide as Gervonta “Tank” Davis and Ryan Garcia meet in Las Vegas to decide who is best.

It’s a mega fight and they don’t happen often.

Baltimore’s Davis (28-0, 26 Kos) meets Victorville’s Garcia (23-0, 19 Kos) at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on Saturday April 22. Showtime pay-per-view and DAZN pay-per-view will show the TGB Promotions card live.

If you know boxing this is the biggest fight of the year and will surpass any other in terms of expectations.

Both are explosive fighters.

Davis has proven to be able to pack arenas due to his knockout percentage. No one attends one of his fights to see a decision. Fans expect a knockout from the short lightweight with quickness, skills and power in either hand.

Only two opponents escaped knockout facing Davis.

Garcia has proven to be a fan favorite due to his looks and ability to blast out opponents with a single left hook. He is also one of the quickest hands to go along with his height and youth. He is only 24. Davis is 28.
