Just when it looked like a lightweight bout between Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis and Ryan Garcia would once again not happen, we could be on the brink of a major announcement. Garcia began by posting a simple tweet that read “December,” which immediately caught the attention of Tank, who was quick to respond.
That started a bit of back and forth between fights that would suggest the wheels are turning for them to finally face each other, particularly with Tank mentioning that Garcia “agreed with everything.”
Garcia would later mention how Tank was willing to fight Mario Barrios at 140, but for some reason wouldn’t agree to meet him there.
Isn’t it funny that you only went up to 140 weight to fight Mario but you didn’t with me, it shows that you are not that confident and looking for some advantage? Nothing is going to save you, remember that. No edge can stop what is already destined. https://t.co/8z2KgOrAtd

Tank would then respond with a since-deleted message that basically emphasized how he’s the A-side and Garcia won’t get the picture until he’s in it, and that he better buckle up for whatever comes his way.
I see the picture, I know exactly what’s going on, you’re not talking to someone naive, it’s funny to me what a coward you are, you want all the advantages, but this time you messed with someone you can’t read trust me. https://t.co/laLCZAIvtW

While obviously nothing has been officially confirmed or announced, reading between the lines, I’m inclined to believe that Tank and Garcia are closing in on the announcement of a fight in December taking place south of 140lbs, but we’ll keep you posted with any another development.
