Gervonta Davis-Ryan Garcia: Rematch clause in play only if Garcia wins on April 22

Ryan Garcia is risking it all.

Following reports the April 22 superfight between the rising Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia was in jeopardy because of a dispute over the rematch clause, Garcia and team have decided to go all-in.

FightNights.com has learned both fighters are contractually obligated to a rematch only if Garcia defeats Davis in their 12-round, 136-pound bout in Las Vegas

If Davis loses, he will then have the option of exercising his contractual right to an immediate rematch within a certain time frame following their fight. If Garcia loses, Davis won’t have to fight him again.
