'What a fight!' - Carl Froch wants Gervonta 'Tank' Davis vs. Ryan Garcia in 2022DAZN
The former world champion wants the lightweight pair to fight next year.

Former world champion Carl Froch wants to see Gervonta Davis fight Ryan Garcia in the new year.

Garcia started 2021 looking set for a mandatory challenge against WBC champion Devin Haney, or another high profile fight - with Tank and Garcia exchanging words on FaceTime ahead of a potential match-up.

However Garcia spent most of the year out of the limelight dealing with mental health obstacles, and Davis was pushed hard in a win over Isaac Cruz. Both boxers need to come through in the ring to justify their hype, and Froch told Sky Sports that the pair match up well.

“Gervonta Davis against Ryan Garcia. It's a great fight,” he said. “I can remember seeing 'Tank' Davis for the first time in New York on the James DeGale vs Badou Jack bill. He had an elusive style, he threw big uppercuts and he brought excitement.

“Then you've got Ryan Garcia, who climbed off the canvas to stop Luke Campbell. They are two exciting fighters with fantastic ability coming together in an explosive clash. 

“What a fight! Someone has to lose their unbeaten record, so you know it's going to be a cracker.”
