Overview
- Ryan Garcia confirmed that Gervonta Davis and manager Al Haymon have contacted his team to open rematch talks after Garcia’s recent stoppage of Conor Benn.
- Davis has publicly limited his offers to lower weights, first saying he would meet Garcia at 140 pounds and later offering 144 pounds via an account believed to be his.
- Garcia insists the fight must be at the full 147-pound welterweight limit and wants Davis to return in a tune-up bout to prove he is ring-ready.
- The two fighters’ dispute over weight builds on their April 2023 meeting, which was held at a 136-pound catchweight with a 10-pound rehydration clause that Garcia has said hurt his performance.
- Davis’s long layoff since March 2025 and his legal distractions weaken his immediate leverage, while Garcia’s new WBC welterweight standing broadens his options and raises the commercial stakes for any deal.
