Spence Jr. rolled over his Ferrari in that incident and fought a tough battle with life outside the ring. So tough, that his boxing career was also put at stake.

However, he successfully overcame the adversary and is ready to defend his WBC and IBF welterweight titles against ‘Swift’ in a main-event clash.

That said, Garcia tagged his opponent as “brave” for being able to get back the fighting spirit.

Errol Spence Jr. is still unbeaten inside the ring which gives Garcia an opportunity to land a major upset. ‘Swift’ is ready to do that but similarly has his respect for ‘The Truth.’

He connected with reporter Lance Pugmire to pour opinion on Errol Spence Jr, before the high-voltage clash.

Danny Garcia said, “In the beginning I was, I ain’t gonna lie. You know. I was like whoa. You know this guy (Errol Spence Jr.), he is brave. But, you know, the doctor said you can fight, and he feels physically ready, mentally ready. Hey, you do what you want to do.”

He added, “But you know, I had a great camp. I know, I am ready. So, I can’t really worry about him.”

Errol Spence Jr. vs Danny Garcia- Anything can happen

Although Garcia has two losses alongside 36 wins, he is a threat to the welterweight division. As one of the best technical counter punchers, Garcia has all the skills to dethrone Spence Jr.

Meanwhile, Spence Jr is highly athletic and a big puncher. He has beaten all of his adversaries to cement himself amongst the greatest. While the car accident might have caused some physical damage, he seems unbothered about it.

When the bell rings, both the boxers will have the chance to depart with a win. The man to land the bigger shots and maintain his composure throughout will walk off with a victory.

Who do you think will be the early aggressor? Danny Garcia or Errol Spence Jr.?
