PhilBoxing.com




Mexican-American WBC Diamond Welterweight Champion Mikey Garcia (40-1, 30 KO's) is being considered as one of the possible opponents for Filipino icon Manny Pacquiao (62-7-2, 39 KO's).

Trained by his elder brother, the 32-year-old Mikey is a 4-division world champion known to be a patient fighter with good punching power and a large fan base, especially in the west coast. 👍👍

Born to Mexican parents who worked as strawberry pickers, Mikey began boxing at age 14 and has had a successful amateur and pro careers. 🥊🥊


That's because boxing is in Mikey's genes. His dad Eduardo, as well as brothers Roberto and Daniel have all been boxers.

Last week, the California-native Mikey outclassed taller former welterweight champion Jessie Vargas over 12 rounds in Texas (photo)
