Are Ryan Garcia and Keyshawn Davis heading toward a fight? Garcia from Victorville attended the Mike Tyson Invitational held at SAHARA Theatre in Las Vegas to support Jacob Herrera who faced Sean Haney. Despite Herrera losing, all eyes turned towards an anticipated confrontation between Garcia and Davis after the event had concluded.
Reports and footage from an apparent post-fight gathering showed Garcia and Davis exchanging words, prompting speculation of an eventual fight between them. But Garcia dispelled such ideas quickly by explaining the main obstacle preventing such a matchup from ever taking place.
Garcia stated plainly, “Keyshawn is my brother, I’ll never fight him.” He further added that while he is ready to fight if necessary, it appears Davis is unwilling to engage in a fight, which he said is not his problem.
Keyshawn Davis, who recently secured a notable knockout victory, has been pursuing a fight with Devin Haney for some time, but no significant progress has been made. Meanwhile, Davis also expressed openness to a potential bout with YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul during a recent boxing event.
Ryan Garcia, having recently claimed the WBC welterweight title by defeating Mario Barrios, seemed poised for a unification fight with Devin Haney. However, Haney now seems more interested in fighting Rolando ‘Rolly’ Romero before addressing the issues between him and Garcia.
The ongoing exchange of words between Garcia and Haney continues. Garcia urged Haney to either fight him after facing Romero or stop talking altogether. Haney responded by insisting Garcia should agree to drug testing before they can fight. The verbal back-and-forth reflects the tension leading up to what many expect to be an eventual rematch.
In April 2024, Garcia defeated Haney via majority decision, but the result was later overturned to a no-contest after Garcia tested positive for a banned substance. Since then, the anticipation for a definitive rematch has grown, though scheduling remains uncertain as Haney pursues other fights.
Keyshawn Davis Predicts Outcome of Stevenson vs. Garcia
After winning his recent bout, Garcia called out Shakur Stevenson, a close friend of Keyshawn Davis, for a fight at welterweight. Stevenson, however, requested specific rehydration clauses in the fight contract, which Garcia is reluctant to accept due to his previous experience with such terms in a fight against Gervonta Davis that did not favor him.
Should the fight between Stevenson and Garcia take place, Keyshawn Davis shared his opinion on how it would unfold. He confidently predicted that Stevenson would defeat Garcia decisively.
Stevenson recently scored an impressive win against Teofimo Lopez and earned a unanimous decision victory in his super lightweight debut fight. Discussions regarding Garcia’s next opponent continue, although no agreements have yet been finalized between both fighters. Several possibilities are on the table but nothing concrete has materialized yet.
Fans eagerly anticipate who Garcia will fight next as multiple fighters have unresolved rivalries to settle. With so much competition out there, fans cannot wait to witness who takes part in his next bout.
