Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia have a site for their pay-per-view showdown April 22 in Las Vegas.
FightNights.com has learned that Davis and Garcia will fight at T-Mobile Arena, the venue that has hosted many marquee boxing events since its doors opened in 2016. The Raiders' Allegiant Stadium and MGM Grand Garden Arena also were candidates to host what could potentially be the most prolific fight of 2023. The organizers of the bout ultimately agreed on T-Mobile Arena, home of the NHL's Golden Knights.
Fans have been clamoring for Davis-Garcia to happen over the last few years, which means we could see a sellout. The T-Mobile can host roughly 22,000 fans for boxing, which is 5,000 more than the MGM Grand Garden Arena.
Allegiant Stadium could hold more than 70,000 fans for boxing, but the venue has yet to host anything other than football since it opened in July 2020.
Baltimore's Davis (28-0, 26 KOs) and Garcia (23-0, 19 KOs), of Victorville, California, officially announced the fight February 24 through their social media accounts.
The fight was originally slated for April 15, but was pushed back one week to allow more time for promotion.
Davis and Garcia will participate in two press conferences this week to promote their 12-round, 136-pound bout. The two stars will come face-to-face Wednesday in Manhattan before flying to Los Angeles for a final staredown Thursday in Beverly Hills.
They'll then have six more weeks to prepare for the most significant fight of their respective careers to date.
Davis-Garcia two stars is perhaps the biggest commercial event boxing can deliver, other than an Errol Spence-Terence Crawford undisputed welterweight world championship bout. A dispute over the rematch clause had threatened to derail the fight, but that conflict was resolved earlier this month after PBC agreed that Golden Boy would serve as the lead promoter for a second bout if Garcia wins. However, only Davis can exercise the rematch clause if he loses on April 22.
