The 20-year-old Garcia (18-0, 15 KOs) has been making a strong case for a lightweight title opportunity. The Los Angeles native and Golden Boy Promotions fighter is coming off a stoppage in his last fight March 30, when he made Jose Lopez’s corner throw in the towel after the second round.

Garcia made it clear after dispatching Lopez that he wanted a title shot soon, specifically against junior lightweight champion Gervonta Davis.
“Do I think I’m ready for a world title this year?” he said after his fight on DAZN. “Hell, yes.”

Garcia challenged Davis and his promoter, Mayweather Promotions.
“And also, I wanted to say something to the Mayweather camp that keeps running their mouth, man. Don’t worry … you get your fights up and I will whoop your ass anywhere,” Garcia said. “Let’s do it. I ain’t intimidated by Mayweather. Nobody could intimidate me.”
