# Garcia’s Message For ‘Tank’ Davis: ‘I Will Put You To Sleep’

Ryan Garcia has no problem admitting that he is looking past his next opponent Javier Fortuna and towards a lightweight super-fight against Gervonta Davis.

‘KingRy’ has his second fight of the year on July 16 against former Super Featherweight champion Javier Fortuna and Garcia was dismissive of the challenge [when he spoke to TMZ](https://www.tmz.com/2022/06/27/ryan-garcia-gervonta-davis-knock-out-boxing/).

> “He’s an ex-world champion, he’s a veteran. I expect him to come out and try and fight me as best as he can, tries to be tricky but the fact that, I feel, I’m coming into my prime and at my best abilities skilfully and mentally. I feel like this will be a short night for Javier Fortuna.”

Garcia is adamant he will [fight fellow unbeaten lightweight star Gervonta Davis](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/garcia-gervonta-davis-face-of-boxing/) after Fortuna and has made enough noise on the subject to get the coverage started for what would be a monster showdown.

The 23-year-old is also supremely confident that between the two big hitting 135 pounders he would prevail in spectacular fashion:

> “That fight will not go the distance, no way possible can it go the distance.”
>
> “I will not let Gervonta Davis off the hook. In my mind I’m here to destroy somebody when I get in there, I’m not here to play points with you.”
>
> “I’ll play points for a little bit, but my objective is to really destroy you. When I get in there, Tank will know, and I hope he brings it.”

Garcia had a final message for Davis who [stopped Rolando Romero in six rounds](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/gervonta-davis-blasts-romero/) last month.

> “Gervonta Davis just know that there’s a lot more than meets the eye with me.”
>
> “Don’t think I’m soft. You come find out, actually make that decision to fight me and you’ll find out real soon there’s nothing soft about me.”
>
> “I’m gonna beat your ass. I will whoop your ass and I will put you to sleep.”
