Ryan Garcia is the favorite in Saturday night's fight against Javier Fortuna. Should Gervonta Davis end up being his next opponent, Garcia will be boxing as an underdog for the first time in his career.
While his trainer, Bernard Hopkins, confirmed that Davis was in their sights, Garcia said he doesn't "want to look into the future."
Garcia’s lawyer Lupe Valencia says that negotiations for the Gervonta ‘Tank’ Davis shall begin immediately after Garcia's predicted Saturday night victory.
Oddsmakers have Garcia as a "lock".
Saturday night, Garcia is currently a -1250 favorite while Fortuna is a +700 underdog. OUCH!!!!!
BetOnline is a ring and apparel sponsor for Saturday's fight so they set odds on a potential Garcia vs. Davis match following Thursday's press conference. Davis opened as a -260 favorite (Garcia +200), but early action has come in on the dog.

"I know that he doesn't know how to control his emotions...he gets ticked off quick,” Garcia said of Fortuna during the Thursday press conference. "It doesn't take long to get him mad, [so] I'm actually a step ahead of him already."
