WBA Lightweight Champion Gervonta Davis Defends Against
Fellow Champion Héctor Luis García Jan. 7
Pre-Sale tickets will be available on Tuesday and officially
go on-sale on Wednesday, for five-time world champion and
boxing superstar Gervonta “Tank” Davis returning to his
native DMV area to face undefeated world champion Héctor
Luis García in a high-stakes showdown on Saturday, January 7
at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C., headlining a
SHOWTIME PPV in an event presented by Premier Boxing
Champions.
The Baltimore native Davis (27-0, 25 KOs) has established
himself as one of boxing’s hottest attractions, capturing
five world titles through three divisions, including the WBA
Lightweight Title he currently holds. After blasting out the
previously unbeaten Rolando Romero with a single punch in
May, Davis returns to take on Héctor Luis García needing to
pave the way for the recently announced blockbuster clash
against unbeaten star Ryan Garcia in the Spring of 2023.
The WBA Super Featherweight World Champion Héctor Luis
García (16-0, 10 KOs), who represented the Dominican
Republic in the 2016 Olympics, is coming off a spectacular
2022 with two marquee victories. Now training in Las Vegas,
García scored one of the biggest upsets of the year in
February, when he defeated then-unbeaten Chris Colbert,
before capturing the world title with a decisive unanimous
decision over incumbent Roger Gutierrez in August.
