It is often said that boxing is a dying sport. While some may believe that the world’s love for the sweet science is slowly eroding, others would disagree. Heavyweight champion Tyson Fury routinely pulls upwards of 60,000 people out to Wembley Stadium for his fights. Down in Mexico, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez could potentially break box office records when he takes on John Ryder in May. This Saturday, another big fight is set to take place as well in Las Vegas. Unbeaten lightweight contender Ryan Garcia is preparing to take on WBA “Regular” Lightweight Champion Gervonta “Tank” Davis at the T-Mobile Arena.
