Davis vs Martin: What has been said?
Ahead of his bout with Martin, Davis has been targeted by Garcia.
‘Tank’ handed ‘KingRy’ the only defeat of his career so far and his former foe wants to step into the ring for a rematch soon.
After beating Haney, Garcia posted on X saying: “Everyone wanna talk about the little Stupid tank.
“Let’s fight, [enough] of that funny talk. Come see me at 144[lbs] and [let’s] stop the talk.”
Whether Davis wants that rematch is unknown but he weighed in on what Garcia should do next in a now-deleted tweet after the Haney bout.
Davis wrote: "It's best Ryan retire now. He gonna get hurt bad."
