The 22-year-old super-star started an Instagram live-stream, which Danis joined in a video that has gone viral since. Danis claimed Garcia would not knock him out if they boxed. As you can expect, ‘KingRy’ disagreed, and said he would finish him in five rounds.
The pair re-iterated the fact that they were being serious about the whole matter. Garcia then said, “I really don’t feel like you could last 5. I would go to MMA, though. Because that’s more competitive.”
Danis replied, “I give you respect for that. Because how many boxers are saying they’re going to go to MMA? Everybody’s like, ‘come to our world.’”
He probably hinted at Jake Paul with this comment, as the YouTuber has called him out to a boxing fight on multiple occasions.

Despite both fighters being serious during this conversation, we cannot see this fight happening. Garcia has unfinished business in boxing and has a long way to go before he can start fighting crossovers. However, stranger things have happened in combat sports before.
