I want to show the world what I’m made of. Training camp was great. We’ve been locked in and focused. I’ve been sparring with high-level guys and sharpening everything—power, speed, ring IQ. I feel better than ever.” As a proud representative of Oakland, Garnica is looking to be the next great fighter from the Bay Area. “Oakland has produced some great fighters, and I want to carry that tradition. I’m not just fighting for myself—I’m fighting for my city. I want to make Oakland proud.” Reyes Majia, co-founder of Showtime Boxing Promotions, shared his excitement about Garnica’s rise stating, “This is another big moment for Anthony and for us as promoters making him the main event for the second time in his career.
