Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia sniping on social media again

Young lightweight starts Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia are at it again on social media, trading words if nothing else, possibly, maybe setting a fight between the two, you know, someday.

The 25-year-old Davis (23-0, 22 KO) is set to face Leo Santa Cruz on Oct. 31 in a Showtime PPV main event, with belts at both 130 and 135 on the line. (Davis will have to make 130 again, something he’s struggled with in the past.) The 22-year-old Garcia (20-0, 17 KO) doesn’t actually have a fight date right now, but it’s expected he’ll face Luke Campbell in a WBC eliminator. The earlier plans for that were November, but it’s Oct. 5 and there’s nothing official yet. It would be a Golden Boy and Matchroom co-promotion on DAZN, which in theory should be easy to make, but theories don’t always hold up in boxing.

Anyway, this isn’t about what they’re actually going to do; again, this is about maybe them doing something against one another, like, sometime in the future.

Garcia said he would “whoop (Davis’) ass when that day comes,” to which Davis responded:

After this career-ending slam, Garcia somehow managed to roar back, taking a shot at Davis’ fight with Santa Cruz:

Anyway, maybe they’ll fight someday. Maybe not. Maybe when it’s lost most of its appeal as an idea.
