It’s not over yet for Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis. Fresh suspicions of a rematch were sparked after the teenage boxing sensation made a stunning debut at Saturday night’s fight between Davis and Frank “Ghost” Martinon. There was a lot of energy in the packed MGM Grand Garden Arena when Garcia took his ringside seat wearing a shirt that said “rematch me, bitch.”
More than a year after their debut match, which was among the best-selling pay-per-view events of the year, they make this audacious declaration. Since then, fans have been excitedly awaiting a rematch, and Garcia’s appearance sparked new interest in the sport. Garcia clearly wants another chance to take down Davis, as the shirt said.

It won’t be simple to make this rematch happen, though. Garcia has a big challenge ahead of him: he is presently serving a suspension for using performance-enhancing drugs. However, Davis is notorious for being unexpected, which makes planning the fight even more difficult.
