Ever since the talks of a fight between them, the conflict had started. Garcia recently opened up about a confrontation he had with Davis at a club.

“He’s a tough guy,” said Garcia recalling the confrontation. He then went on to say, “I went up to his table with this guy [points the camera to his friend] and we said ‘yo are we gonna make this fight happen?’ and I guess he got offended by that.” “Then I was like ‘yo what you on about man, no respect here?’ and then he responds with ‘nah, there ain’t no respect here,‘” recalls Ryan. ‘KingRY’ asked about the fight to Davis as there were rumors of a cancellation of the fight.

“He took my chain but I wasn’t worried about it,” said Garcia in the live stream. “There are so many security guards there, I knew he wasn’t gonna take my chain.” “He just wanted to seem tough,” said Ryan Garcia. The confrontation and trash-talking seem to build more hype for the event. As the hatred between these two seems to grow, the better the fight looks. Garcia is also an underdog in this fight.

Lightweight boxers Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis‘ rivalry is stewing to this day. The two are seen insulting each other on social media platforms and in interviews. There is no doubt that these two hate each other. The upcoming Ryan Garcia vs Gervonta Davis fight is one of the most anticipated fights in boxing.

In a recent Instagram Live, Davis and Garcia made a bet on their fight. The live stream between the two was accompanied by Twitch streamer and popular influencer Kai Cenat. The viewer count on the stream was 183,000. With these many viewers, the fighters tried to hype up the fight even more.

Gervonta Davis asked Ryan, “Yo, you wanna bet?” to which Garcia replied, “Yeah, let’s do it.” This set the stage for aggression from both fighters. The situation went too far when Gervonta said, “The whole thing, the whole purse?” meaning either fighter has to pay the proceeds that they gain from the event to the winner of the fight. That is when the fighters took it too far. There were no managers or contractors beside them to stop them from doing so.

This caused a ruckus in the boxing community. Normally, when fighters engage themselves in a betting environment before a fight, they are least likely to follow through. But with Kai Cenat’s presence, the Instagram live stream gained a lot of viewers and brought more eyes to the situation. Fans are excited to witness the fight as well as the bet the fighters made.
