The first weekend slate of fights for 2023 is here and is headlined by one of the sport's most exciting talents in Gervonta 'Tank' Davis.
The American takes on Hector Luis Garcia on Saturday night where a win would set up a clash with rival Ryan Garcia later this year.
There are also two world title fights taking place on Friday with Masatki Taniguchi defending his WBO strawweight title against Melvin Jerusalem, while Daniel Valladares looks to keep hold of his IBF strawweight title when he takes on Ginjiro Shigeoka.
