LAS VEGAS — Two of boxing's hottest talents, Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia, announced Wednesday that they'll be fighting each other in a 2023 mega fight.
Insider reported last month that representatives from both athletes were engaged in "deep talks," having spoken to four sources who said that a breakthrough was "fairly close."
"I'm so pumped this fight is finally in place — I want it more than anything right now," said Garcia, 24, on Twitter.
Actual details on the event are, for now, sparse
Numerous obstacles had to be cleared to get this deal over the line.
Davis is promoted by Mayweather Promotions and is also represented by Premier Boxing Champions. He fights exclusively on Showtime Sports and is considered a pay-per-view commodity by his handlers.
Garcia, meanwhile, is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions, which has an exclusive broadcast deal with DAZN.
It appears the fight will be a PBC on Showtime event with the show also available on DAZN.
An April date has been rumored for the fight, however, there are currently no holds on dates or venues in Las Vegas for that entire month.
Insider attended a Nevada State Athletic Commission regulatory meeting Wednesday and heard TGB Promotions, which sometimes promotes PBC shows, request permits in Las Vegas for holds on three dates for boxing events in 2023.
The dates are March 18, May 6, and September 16.
TGB Promotions also has holds for other dates earlier in the year including January 7, January 28, and February 4.
Insider understands that a fight between junior middleweight world champion Jermell Charlo and challenger Tim Tszyu is expected to take place on January 28.
A super middleweight bout between rival contenders Caleb Plant and David Benavidez, meanwhile, could land on one of the alternate dates in an unconventional 22-foot x 22-foot ring, as per the commission meeting.
The Garcia and Davis super fight is a non-title bout that will be fought at 136 pounds.
The event will bring together some of the most powerful figures in the entire sport, including Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe, Floyd Mayweather, Golden Boy Promotions founder Oscar de la Hoya, Golden Boy partner Bernard Hopkins, and Showtime Sports President Stephen Espinoza.
