Gervonta Davis issued some fighting talk as he pondered the prospect of a re-match with Ryan Garcia following his savage knockout win over Frank Martin. The WBA lightweight title holder held onto his belt with a brutal victory in the eighth round of his latest bout in front of the Las Vegas crowd. After dispatching of his challenger Davis to secure a 30th win of his professional career and maintain his unblemished record, a bizarre scene played out as old foe Garcia entered the ring.
The controversial star was knocked out by the man known as "Tank" in a seventh round demolition job last year. In the interim period since this loss, "King Ryan" has responded with wins against Oscar Duarte and a divisive victory via a majority decision over Devin Haney in April. However, after pulling off a shock triumph in New York after missing weight for the contest, it was determined by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association that Garcia tested positive for performance-enhancing substance Ostarine, on the day of the fight.
Seemingly unperturbed by the fallout from this revelation, the defiant boxer still is claimed to have proposed a fight with Davis following his win over Martin. Shown wearing a t-shirt which read "Tank’s #1 Fan, Rematch Me", there was no doubting the Californian's desire to brush aside his recent positive drug test.
