Listen To 2023 Boxing Wishes And Davis-Hector Garcia Preview
Coming up Saturday night in Washington D.C., unbeaten, multi-division world champ Gervonta Davis makes his 2023 debut against a formidable, unbeaten champion himself in Hector Luis Garcia.
The bout will headline the Showtime/Premier Boxing Champions card from the Capital One Arena in downtown D.C. and it’s expected to be a raucous atmosphere for Davis, who’s from the area, to score an emphatic win.
