Gervonta Names Weight for Ryan Rematch

WBA lightweight (61.2 kg) world champion Gervonta Davis (29-0, 27 KOs) says a rematch with Ryan Garcia (25-1, 20 KOs) is possible and has outlined weight conditions.

"Yes, it's possible. But he shouldn't weigh 64.8 kg. Maybe 63.5 kg. That would be fine.

63.5 kg is a weight class different from lightweight (61.2 kg). It's a weight class he used to fight in but can no longer make the weight.

If he wants to fight, it can be at junior welterweight (63.5 kg). He can rehydrate up to 65.7 kg or 68 kg. I, however, fight at 61.2 kg," said Davis.

Gervonta knocked out Ryan in April 2023 when they fought in the lightweight division. Garcia was expected to have his next fights at junior welterweight but never actually made the weight limit (63.5 kg). Later, Ryan admitted that he couldn't make 63.5 kg, no matter how hard he tried to lose weight.
