RYAN GARCIA DEMANDS GERVONTA DAVIS REMATCH TODAY! CAN HE SAVE HIS FAILING BOXING CAREER?

Ryan Garcia is chasing ghosts from his past while moving to 147lbs. Discover why the Davis rematch is unlikely before 2026.

Ryan Garcia Demands Gervonta Davis Rematch Today! Can He Save His Failing Boxing Career?
Garcia Reignites Davis Rivalry

So, Ryan Garcia wants a rematch with Gervonta Davis. How original. The reaction online? Predictable. Lots of noise and feelings and little to do with what's real.

X blew up with replies, quotes flying everywhere, and people getting all nostalgic. But guess what? Nothing really changed. It wasn't a fight announcement. It wasn't even a hint at talks happening. It was like Garcia was reminding everyone of that one night he felt like he was the man in boxing.

Careers Gone Sideways

Here's the kicker: Garcia is nowhere near where he was when he fought Davis.

Since that loss, his career's been going downhill. Rolando Romero stopped him, which was a bad look given Romero's rep. Before that, Garcia was suspended for a year, keeping him out of the ring when he needed to be in it. He never got his groove back. He seemed lost.

Barrios Won't Fix It

Now, he's fighting Mario Barrios at welterweight in February 2026. Most people think it's a safe fight to stay relevant without facing the big dogs in the division. But even then, it's no sure thing. Barrios might be the weakest champ at 147, but Garcia hasn't been looking good lately, so who knows? He might lose. Plenty of people think he will.

That's what you need to know when he calls for a rematch. Garcia isn't calling from a place of power. He's calling from a place of weakness.

Big Names, Easy Fights

He's not acting like a fighter trying to get to the top anymore. He's acting like a brand trying to stay relevant. Look at the names he brings up: Devin Haney, Conor Benn, and Davis again. Big names, big platforms, big paydays. He doesn't have to earn anything the tough way.

He avoids the fights that actually mean something in the welterweight division—the hungry guys, the relentless fighters, and the young guys from nothing who are willing to do anything to win. They don't bring the hype or the clicks. But they will beat fighters who aren't fully committed, aren't fully in it, and aren't desperate enough.

Garcia's loaded now, probably worth around $50 million. He trains mostly at home in his fancy California mansion, with some gym time and good sparring partners. It's not like he's not training hard, but he's living in a bubble. He's comfortable. It's all managed.

That's a problem in a sport where being hungry still means more than looking good.

Comfort Beats Urgency

People are starting to see Garcia as more of a celebrity fighter than a straight-up boxer. It's not that he's not talented or has never worked hard. It's that his priorities have changed. Boxing's become something he does, not something he needs.

That's when you start thinking about Jake Paul, who's gone even further down that road. He picks his fights carefully, focuses on the story, and protects his brand. Garcia's still somewhat in the real boxing world, but he picks and chooses when.

The Davis rematch call makes sense when you look at it that way. We brought the OG super fight back for one night, Garcia wrote. He's not talking about future fights. He's talking about the past. He's talking about staying relevant. He's reminding fans, promoters, and TV people that he was once a big deal and he could be again if the right opponent shows up.

Relying on the Past

But boxing doesn't care about what happened in the past, at least not for long.

Garcia doesn't seem like he could beat the top welterweights right now. He hasn't changed his style. He hasn't gotten more disciplined. We don't know if he can handle the weight at 147. The sport's moved on, and the division's full of fighters who don't care about his followers or what he did one night.

Chasing a Ghost

That's why the rematch talk feels hollow. Davis isn't interested. Garcia has no leverage. There's no way it's happening. No one on the other side cares. It's just one fighter talking to the crowd, and the crowd talking back—loudly, nostalgically, but without anything actually happening.

Ryan Garcia isn't trying to get a fight with Gervonta Davis. He's trying to get back to the version of himself that boxing respected. And unless he changes things fast—not on social media, but in the ring—that version isn't coming back.

THE EIGHT-FIGURE GAMBLE: CONOR BENN SIGNS A MASSIVE ONE-FIGHT DEAL WITH ZUFFA BOXING

Conor Benn joins Zuffa Boxing! Discover why he left Eddie Hearn, the details of his 8-figure deal, and Dana White's global plans.

Conor Benn officially joins Zuffa Boxing after a decade with Eddie Hearn

Zuffa Boxing just landed one of the top welterweights out there, Conor Benn. The up-and-coming promotion announced Benn’s signing, adding even more star power to its growing roster.

Benn, 29, is riding high after a huge win over Chris Eubank Jr last November, finally getting his revenge after Eubank handed him his first-ever loss just seven months before. Right now, Benn stands at 24-1, with 14 knockouts. He’s held the WBA Continental Europe Welterweight title, too. There’s no date or opponent set for his Zuffa debut yet, but this is a big move for Dana White and his crew, who are serious about building a roster packed with champions and big names.

“I’m filled with excitement and hunger for what’s ahead with Zuffa Boxing,” Benn said in a press release. “I want the legacy fights, the biggest nights, the biggest stages. I fear no man at any weight, and I’m ready to give the fans the fights they’ve been calling for. I’m in my prime, and together we have bold, ambitious plans.”

Dana White is just as fired up. “Conor Benn is an absolute beast and a superstar,” he said. “He shows up every time and destroys people, and now some of the best fighters in the world are calling him out. He’s ready for a world title next, and I can’t wait to see him compete in Zuffa Boxing. He’s going to be a huge addition to a growing stable of very talented boxers.”

Sports Illustrated reports that Benn’s contract is a one-fight, eight-figure deal, though neither White nor Benn has confirmed that.

This move also heats the ongoing rivalry between Dana White and Matchroom Boxing’s Eddie Hearn. Benn had been with Hearn ever since he turned pro in 2016, but now he’s switched sides. Earlier this year, White and his team also grabbed IBF and The Ring cruiserweight champ Jai Opetaia, another former Hearn fighter.

Lately, Hearn and White have been trading shots in the media, which is wild considering they used to get along before White jumped into boxing. With two big signings already in the bag, Zuffa is out to prove it means business. And you just know they’re not stopping here.

CRIS CYBORG EYES HISTORY: MMA LEGEND SET FOR WIBA WORLD TITLE BOXING MATCH ON MARCH 28

Cris Cyborg makes history! Discover how she plans to hold MMA and boxing world titles simultaneously on March 28 in Brazil.

Cris Cyborg confirms 2026 will be her final year in professional fighting

Cris Cyborg is about to chase a slice of history on March 28.

Since leaving the UFC back in 2019, the former featherweight champ hasn’t slowed down one bit. She grabbed the Bellator 145-pound title, then picked up another belt in the Professional Fighters League. It’s like every time she shows up somewhere new, she leaves with gold.

Now, in 2026, Cyborg says she’s on her retirement tour. But she’s not just coasting to the finish line; she’s still looking to add something big to her legacy. This time, she’s stepping into a boxing ring, not an MMA cage.

It’s been a while since Cyborg lost a fight. That was back at UFC 232 against Amanda Nunes. Since then? She’s rattled off nine straight wins in MMA, but that’s only half the story. She started boxing in 2022, and she hasn’t lost there either: seven wins, no defeats.

On March 28, Cyborg gets her biggest boxing test yet. She’ll fight Paulina Cardona for the WIBA super welterweight belt. Winning would make her the first fighter ever to hold world titles in both MMA and boxing at the same time. Big names like Amanda Serrano and Holly Holm have held this belt before, so it’s not just any title.

Journalist James Lynch broke the news online and pointed out just how rare this accomplishment would be. If Cyborg pulls it off, she’ll stamp her name in the record books, plain and simple.

Let’s talk about her opponent. Cardona’s been in the ring a lot – 68 pro fights, to be exact – but her record isn’t exactly stellar. She’s 27-34-7, has been knocked out 15 times, and has only managed two wins in her last 14 outings. So, yeah, Cyborg’s the clear favourite here, and people are already raising eyebrows about the level of competition she’s been facing in boxing.

Still, history’s on the line in Curitiba, Brazil. All eyes are on Cyborg to see if she can pull off something no one else has done before.
