Two undefeated fighters in their respective primes will attempt to cement their legacy. There are no belts on the line, it is simply a clash of two big names looking to test themselves against the very best.

‘Tank’ Davis and ‘KingRy’ Garcia have had plenty to say to each other over the last few months, but will finally do their talking in the ring.

Billed as ‘It Doesn’t Get Any Better Than This’ for a reason, the sight of two such big names meeting in the squared circle is a welcome distraction from some of the politicking we’ve seen elsewhere. Here’s everything you need to know about the fight tonight.

Davis vs Garcia prediction

There are so many positives to both Davis and Garcia that it is difficult to select an obvious winner.

Still, the punching power Davis has will be hard for Garcia to handle, particularly having come down in weight.

Garcia certainly boasts speed and is by no means a light puncher but it is Davis who boasts the more venomous shots. Luke Campbell cannot match Davis for power and he was able to knock Garcia down, albeit the American shot straight back up.

Still, ‘Tank’ does tend to start slowly and cannot afford to switch off against a fighter of Garcia’s quality. Even with that in mind, however, it’s hard to look past Davis stopping him late.
