That said, ES News recently released a training video of Garcia, wherein he’s seen putting a cosmic amount of hard work in the gym.
The 33-year-old last fought in February 2020 against Jessie Vargas. There, he claimed an easy unanimous decision win to get his boxing run back on track after a loss to Errol Spence Jr. With that, Garcia has now spent a substantial amount of time out of the game. But now, he wants to make a worthy comeback to the game.
And no one better than the veteran ‘Pacman’ can welcome Garcia back to action again.

The fight was targeted for June 5. But due to some uncertainties, it couldn’t materialize.
