Ryan Garcia calls out Gervonta Davis for a fight in December
After Gervonta Davis defended his title in emphatic fashion by knocking out Rolando Romero in the sixth round, Ryan Garcia who was present in the arena called him out for a fight. He went on Twitter and also expressed his interest to fight him this December.

However, Garcia has to focus on his task to defeat Issac Cruz on July 16th before having any hopes for a fight against Tank. Besides, Davis was eyeing for a undisputed title fight during the buildup of his fight with Romero.
But with Devin Haney and George Kambosos fighting for the undisputed gold and Vasyl Lomachenko waiting on the sidelines. The likelihood of Gervonta fighting for the undisputed titles looks doubtful. As of now Gervonta has not responded to Garcia’s callout. However, fans can expect this matchup to take place if Garcia defeats Cruz.
