Garcia after knocking down Fortuna multiple times in their July clash, expressed that he plans to stick to the super lightweight division for now. The 23-year-old, had his last two fights at 140 pounds. He defeated Emmanuel Tagoe in April via unanimous decision and followed it up with the knockout win over Fortuna.
Davis last competed successfully at 140 pounds against Mario Barrios for the WBA World Super Lightweight championship in 2021. He then jumped back down to 135 pounds for two consecutive victorious campaigns against Isaac Cruz and Rolando Romero.
