He believes that the fight could inspire young fighters to get into boxing and chase their dreams.
"To me, this is important to everybody that it takes courage to go after something that nobody believed you could do," said Garcia. "That’s why I’m standing here today. To make everybody realize that if you’re in there and chase your dream like you’ve never chased anything before, and you’ll see something special happen."
Garcia's words show his passion for the sport and his desire to see boxing succeed. His confidence and energy could be just what the sport needs to inspire the next generation of fighters.
