35-year-old former world champion in four weight categories American Mikey Garcia (40-2, 30 KOs) may return to the ring.
Recall that the unexpected decision of the boxer to hang gloves on a nail became known at the end of June. A few days later, his older brother, who is also a famous coach Robert Garcia, shed light on what had happened:
“It’s time for him to enjoy being with his kids, family and loved ones. I think he made the right decision. When a fighter doesn’t want it anymore, when he doesn’t have hunger, we won’t go out there and risk our lives.”
Apparently, Mikey had already enjoyed everything he could. According to the same Robert, now his younger brother is thinking about a comeback.
“Yes, he is thinking about it. He has been back to the gym for several weeks and is thinking about returning, ”said Garcia, the coach.
Mikey sensationally lost on points to Sandor Martin last October and hasn’t entered the ring since. In 2019-2020 he has only two fights – a crushing decision loss from Errol Spence in an attempt to conquer the fifth category and a victory over Jesse Vargas, also on points.
Back in early autumn, Mikey Garcia made a prediction for the Lomachenko-Haney fight.
