It's worth noting that 'Tank' recently returned to Mayweather's gym. In the interview with FightHype, the legend stated that he would have Davis in good shape to win next month in Las Vegas. He stated:
“Ryan hasn’t won a title yet. We don’t talk about no interim belt – that don’t count. And we not taking nothing away from the guy, Fortuna, but he was just an opponent. I’m gonna have Tank in the best shape of his life, and just know, when he hit that boy, he ain’t gonna wake up until next year.”

Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia: Oscar De La Hoya makes shocking prediction
From one boxing legend to another, Oscar De La Hoya recently chimed in on Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia.
'Golden Boy' is admittedly a bit biased. As the current promoter of 'KingRy', it makes sense that he picked Garcia to defeat Davis in a recent interview with The Schmo earlier this month.
However, the former champion also made an interesting prediction. De La Hoya predicted that Garcia wouldn't only win, but by knockout. Along with that, he believes that the lightweight could get a new nickname.
In the interview, 'Golden Boy' predicted that Ryan Garcia could become 'Platinum Boy' with the win, saying:
"Well, there's only one Golden Boy. He might be the Platinum Boy when he ends up knocking out Gervonta Davis. That's the final prediction, April 22nd, it's going down baby."
