Gervonta Davis Extends Olive Branch Amidst Chaos: Will There Be a Rematch with Ryan Garcia?
In the whirlwind of boxing’s drama, Ryan Garcia’s recent confession has stirred a raging firestorm. Despite a tumultuous journey marked by a failed drug test and a missed weight, Garcia boldly proclaimed that Devin Haney presented a fiercer challenge in the ring than his bout with Gervonta Davis. This revelation, made during a candid conversation with Patrick Bet-David, has shattered expectations and ignited intense debate within the boxing community.
For Garcia, the admission was a candid reflection on his recent battles. “I will beat Gervonta Davis worse than I beat Devin Haney. Devin Haney is a harder fight than Gervonta Davis,” he declared. In a sport fueled by bravado and rivalry, such candid admissions are rare, but Garcia spared no punches in his assessment. His words, laden with raw emotion, cut through the controversy surrounding his recent endeavors.
“I will beat Gervonta Davis worse than I beat Devin Haney. Devin Haney is a harder fight than Gervonta Davis,” said Ryan Garcia.
He continued, “I don’t think Tank could; ah, Tank won’t get to Haney. Definitely, Haney will beat Tank.” Ryan Garcia replied, “Well, Haney, um, actually caught me, I mean Gervonta. I didn’t really it wasn’t a hard fight; I was just weak. That’s not a hard fight for me.“
Ryan Garcia tested positive for the PED Ostarine the day before and the day of his upset win over Devin Haney, per a VADA letter obtained by ESPN. Garcia has 10 days to request his B-sample be tested. A-sample also screened positive for 19-norandrosterone but unconfirmed.
