Fans often troll Garcia by calling him an ‘Internet Boxer’/’Instagram Boxer’, but the Californian never really let these comments get into his head. He took time off and surrendered his WBC interim lightweight strap, which he won against Luke Campbell.

Later, Garcia succumbed to a hand injury, and his potential November 2021 return fight was also off the cards. Given his training video, fans can rejoice as he seems in his true element to come back. More than anyone, he himself is eager to create a difference with his boxing run this time.
