Davis Offers 140–144‑Pound Catchweight After Garcia’s Benn Knockout

Overview

• Ryan Garcia delivered a two‑round knockout of Conor Benn on Saturday and now holds the WBC welterweight title, which has strengthened his bargaining position for big fights.
• Gervonta Davis has publicly said he will not fight at 147 pounds and has signaled willingness to meet between 140 and 144 pounds instead.
• Their April 2023 meeting ended with Davis stopping Garcia, but that bout had a 136‑pound contractual limit plus a 10‑pound rehydration clause that Garcia and his camp say left him drained.
• Davis has not fought since March of last year because of legal issues and a canceled crossover bout with Jake Paul, creating uncertainty about his return date and ring readiness.
• If the camps cannot bridge the weight gap, negotiations are likely to stall and Garcia may press for welterweight unification options while a rematch would depend on agreed weight, timing and Davis’s ability to return to the ring.
