Broner and Garcia, two world-class fighters in their prime, meet at a critical time in their respective careers in one of the most intriguing matches in boxing. Both Broner and Garcia have had spectacular victories at Barclays Center in Brooklyn during their careers. Broner successfully defended his welterweight title against Paulie Malignaggi at Barclays Center on June 22, 2013, und Garcia, coming off a lengthy layoff, defeated Elio Rojas via fifth-round TKO at the arena on July 30, 2016.

Broner, a three-division world champion by the age of 23, and one of the youngest four-division world champions in boxing history, remains one of the most accomplished and popular athletes in the sport today. Among the top 140-pounders in the world, Broner is undefeated at or below 140 pounds with his only two losses coming against welterweight world champions Marcos Maidana and Shawn Porter. Mit nur 27 Jahre alt, Broner (33-2, 24 KOs) still believes he is the future of the sport and looks to prove it against Garcia onSamstag, Juli 29.

Hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio, Broner has achieved more in his young career than most fighters can hope for in a lifetime. After earning world titles at 130, 135 und 147 Pfund, Broner won a belt in a fourth weight division – 140 Pfund – im Oktober 2015 when he defeated Khabib Allakhverdiev via 12^th round stoppage to become the second youngest four-division champion in boxing history at 26 (behind Oscar De La Hoya, 24). Broner will turn 28 years old on Juli 28, the day before his bout with Garcia.

Garcia, 29 years old and undefeated (36-0, 30 KOs), is a recently crowned lightweight champion and one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the sport. He will move up in weight for the second time in just three fights to challenge Broner. Garcia ist ein Mitglied einer renommierten Box-Familie, und ist bekannt für seine Sportlichkeit und seine eindrucksvolle Präsenz im Ring festgestellt, geschliffen von seinem Bruder und gefeierten Trainer Robert Garcia. He has held world titles at 126, 130 und 135 Pfund, but has never fought above 138.

Garcia, von Moreno Valley haft Oxnard, Calif., wieder in den Ring nach einer zwei-und-Halbjahr Entlassung im Juli 2016 without missing a beat. After defeating Rojas, Garcia became a three-division champion by beating previously undefeated lightweight world champion Dejan Zlaticanin with a vicious third-round knockout this January. Garcia has stopped 19 seiner letzten 21 Gegner einschließlich Roman “Felsig” Martinez, Juan Manuel Lopez, Orlando Salido and Bernabe Concepcion.
