Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia went live on Instagram to take shots at each other before their upcoming bout on April 22nd. The pair got into it, with Davis calling out Garcia for getting stopped in a sparring session at his gym.

He asked:

"So, you didn't get stopped in the gym?

To which Garcia responded:

"No, on my life I didn't. Didn't you get knocked out by a Russian at Floyd's gym? Didn't you get knocked out cold?"

Davis, in a matter-of-fact manner, denied it and simply said "no."

Things started off when Davis and his friends went live, and Garcia appeared to join in a while later.

Davis and co. asked Garcia to bet his entire fight purse, to which Garcia replied:

"Everything is on the line. I just did. (Referring to him betting the fight purse in a winner-takes-all situation) Let's do it. The whole purse. Yes. Let's bet. You hear me on the live. Let's bet. Let's make a contract and let's sign it, both of us, let's go."
