As it became known this week, American lightweight star Gervonta Davis (28-0, 26 KOs) pleaded guilty to four counts in a November 2020 traffic accident that injured four people, including a pregnant woman. .
Gervonte is to be sentenced on May 5.
This information made promoter Oscar De La Hoya very happy, because now the fight of his ward Ryan Garcia (23-0, 19 KOs) with Davis, scheduled but not yet officially announced on April 15, seems to be in no way.
“Look, since the verdict will be handed down on May 5, it means that he has no obstacles (to enter the ring against Garcia), De La Hoya draws a simple conclusion. “Now he can focus on training and get ready for April 15th. Great news. I would even say wonderful, as for everyone who cares about boxing, and everyone who is involved in this fight. Oh yes, it’s a green light. Let’s go!”
