Gervonta Davis and Ryan ‘Kingry’ Garcia will certainly square off in one of the year’s biggest fights on Saturday night in the sin city of Las Vegas, Nevada. The build-up to the battle has been nothing short of ferocious, with both boxers exchanging barbs at each other on almost every subject. This also includes the re-hydration clause that is once again being discussed vehemently.
For those who are not as initiated, the re-hydration clause limits the amount of weight a fighter can gain after weigh-ins. This can give an undue massive advantage to the other fighter. In the case of the Davis vs. Garcia fight, Garcia won’t be allowed to weigh more than 146 pounds on fight night.
Leveling the Playing Field: Gervonta Davis Defends Rehydration Clause Against Ryan Garcia Backlash
Davis recently arose on the podcast All The Smoke, where he debated diligently the controversial clause. He explained that he just wants to make sure everything is fair, given that Garcia already has the advantage in terms of height, size, and arm length. As a smaller man, Tank wants to level the playing field a bit.
One Twitter user, Borz (@Jack🇬🇭🇨🇮), called out KingRy for talking “bs” and acting surprised that Ryan wasn’t an easy fight as he initially made it out to be.
C'mon tank that's some bs talk .. I thought Ryan was an easy fight🤣🤣 https://t.co/Bl3EP9CK0q

In response to the backlash, Davis hit back at the idea that he was doing something new by having a re-hydration clause in the contract. He stated that re-hydration clauses are relatively common and that Garcia is making things into a much bigger deal than they are.
