Showtime ended last year with a major showdown featuring lightweight contenders Frank “The Ghost” and Michel Rivera. To begin the new year, the premium network will return to the lightweight division for another major bout. WBA Super Featherweight Champion Héctor Luis García will make his lightweight debut on January 7, 2023 at Capital One Arena against WBA “Regular” Lightweight Champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis.
Not only will Davis and Garcia put their undefeated records on the line in a major bout, but rising stars like Jaron “Boots” Ennis, Rashidi “Speedy” Ellis and Brandun Lee will also look to make a name for themselves in the nation’s capital. To top it all off, Demetrius “Boo Boo” Andrade will make his debut at super middleweight against hometown favorite Demond Nicholson.
