Gervonta Davis vs. Ryan Garcia: 'Tank' explains why there is a rehydration clause in the contract
Gervonta Davis has explained why he had to put a rehydration clause on the contract for his upcoming fight against Ryan Garcia.
Leading up to the fight, 'KingRy' revealed that there is a rehydration clause in place and he won't be allowed to weigh in at more than 146 pounds. While this has been a controversial topic, this has been done to make the fight "fair" according to 'Tank'.
While discussing the controversial clause during a recent appearance on the All The Smoke podcast, Gervonta Davis said:
“I mean, it’s just making sure everything’s fair. You know what I mean? I know that he’s a bigger fighter. He already has the advantage off the height, the size, the arm length, like everything, he has the most advantage. So, I’m just making it a little fair. You know what I mean? Just everybody stay the same. And, I mean, it ain’t like he gotta go [to a second weigh-in] and I don’t have to go. We both have to go.”
