Read our privacy policy Gervonta Davis arrived two hours late for a press conference with Ryan Garcia on Wednesday, before the opponents engaged in a tense face-off. Davis, 28, admitted it was “very unprofessional” of him, and said the reason for his tardiness was, “Just traffic, not prepared, things like that.” Twenty-four-year-old Garcia, who began the conference without his opponent, said: “It’s only gonna kinda serve as a negative for the overall success of this event. Hinting at Davis’ legal issues, Garcia said: “This is quite quick; we’re six weeks out and this is our first press conference. I feel like it’s rushed, just maybe a little bit of his personal issues.” When asked whether he was referencing Davis’ legal matters, Garcia admitted: “I don’t want to come off cross, like speaking down on him, but the truth is: Yeah, that’s probably why.” Davis and Garcia are due to partake in a second press conference on Thursday.
