Danny Garcia is planning to go big when he returns to the ring.
The former two-division titleholder said on Instagram Live that he expects to fight in the fall. He added that his two potential opponents are among the biggest names in the sport: Manny Pacquiao and Errol Spence Jr.
“I’m coming back, baby. September. Back in the ring, September,” Garcia said. “I’m fighting in the fall, we don’t know [who] yet, either Pac Man or Spence, that’s where it’s at.”
Garcia (36-2, 21 KOs) has defeated Adrian Granados and Ivan Redkach since he lost a close, but unanimous decision against Shawn Porter in September 2018.
The Philadelphian hasn’t held a title since he lost his welterweight belt to Keith Thurman by a split decision in March 2017.
Pacquiao rejuvenated his career last year by outpointing Adrien Broner and then Thurman to win a 147-pound belt. Still, at 41 and being a small welterweight, he would be perceived as an easier mark than Spence for Garcia.
Of course, that’s assuming Spence is fully recovered from his car accident this past October. Spence, coming off a decision over Porter, is a big, strong, prime 147-pounder.
