Former champion in several weight categories Mikey Garcia commented on the information that he could hold an exhibition fight against the ex-champion in five divisions Floyd Mayweather.
“I don’t know where such rumors come from. As I already said, I'm here to get some exercise. I've become a little lazy, so I wanted to get back into the gym to lose a little weight, get in shape and spend a little time with the young fighters, teach them something and motivate them a little. I don't have any plans for a fight or anything like that. If they had called me, we could have talked.
Reporters asked me: “Is there any truth to this?” These are all just rumors. I didn’t talk to anyone about this fight. Given my experience and knowledge of boxing, I believe Mayweather is the best boxer of all time. I have a lot of respect for him for the way he fought and his dominance over great fighters.
He fought so many champions and undisputed champions and made them look like they were nothing,” Garcia said in an interview with ESNEWS.
Let us remember that in his last fight in October 2021, Mikey lost to Sandor Martin by split decision. After this, he announced his retirement.
