This weekend, the star lightweight Garcia registered a promising win over Javier Fortuna at 140 lbs. He dominated the showdown by dropping the Dominican boxer thrice in the entire slugfest. He threw some unanswered hooks that finally stopped the former champ in the 6th round under the lights of Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.

After winning the battle, which was considered the toughest, Garcia inched closer to taking a shot against his heated rival, Gervonta Davis. This victory has surely uplifted Garcia’s self-confidence. He did not shy from announcing the name he wanted next at 140 lbs.

He took to Twitter and humiliated one of the most promising lightweights of this generation in ‘Tank’ Davis. He wrote, “I won’t just beat tank, I will make it look like there was no reason for him to be in the ring with me. Easy Easy Lemon Squeezy.”

Notably, Garcia’s sight is set on one man that is ‘Tank’ Davis’. The 23-year-old is openly challenging the latter for years but could not close the deal of exchanging some sounding fists in the ring.
