Garcia Claims Mayweather Welterweight Fight Still in the Works
Quick Jab Boxing
Ryan Garcia claimed that a fight with Floyd Mayweather is still in the works. Garcia said Mayweather is willing to put his record on the line in a sanctioned bout.
“But it’s real Floyd and I agree to a fight 147 for the WBC welterweight championship of the world, 50-0 vs The current champ,” Garcia said. Mayweather is 49 years old.
“Trust me, at first I thought this was bullshit,” Garcia said of his initial reaction to the Mayweather fight claim. Garcia has a record of 26-2 with 21 knockouts and stopped Conor Benn in two rounds last month.
Garcia won the WBC welterweight belt in January from Mario Barrios. Floyd Mayweather has a record of 50-0 with 27 knockouts.
Mayweather last fought professionally in August 2017, beating Conor McGregor.
Garcia is currently in talks to face Teofimo Lopez in a unification fight at 147lbs.
Will Ryan Garcia face Floyd Mayweather at 147, or is the Teofimo Lopez unification fight the next step?
