There’s something undeniably thrilling about a fighter stepping into the ring, introduced with a nickname that echoes like a war cry. But let’s be honest—how many times have you heard “The Beast,” “The Destroyer,” or “Iron” and thought, Here we go again?

Let’s get one thing straight—the heavyweight division is the shiny centerpiece of boxing. The marquee act. The division that puts bums on seats and draws eyes to screens. Ali, Tyson, Holyfield, Lewis, Fury—just say the names and even non-fans perk up. Heavyweights are the blockbuster movies of boxing: big, bold, and bankable.

Where better to start than with the big boys?

The eight-week Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia saga ended with the unexpected hand being raised, leaving the boxing world open-mouthed and goggle-eyed.

Two of the biggest names in boxing, let alone the lightweight and super-lightweight divisions, go head to head this weekend as the 28-0 Gervonta Davis takes on the 23-0 Ryan Garcia in Las Vegas.
