Allegiant Stadium, the home of the Las Vegas Raiders, has also been mentioned as a potential venue.
Davis has won all of his 28 contests, finishing 26 of them by knockout.
And Garcia has a perfect 23-0 record, including 19 stoppages.
The agreement comes after years of bad blood and trash-talk between the two boxing stars — and despite the complications caused by the fighters belonging to different promotions.
In the end, the two sides agreed the April showdown will be staged by PBC and shown on Showtime PPV — Tank’s stable and broadcaster — while also being distributed through DAZN.
And if Garcia wins and Davis triggers his rematch clause, the second fight will be on a show staged by Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy and broadcast by DAZN PPV — Garcia’s partners.
Davis and Garcia will be able to trade blows even though Tank may face jail time in relation to a hit-and-run accident.
However, his sentencing hearing is scheduled for May 5, after the Garcia bout.
