Pafupifupi zaka eyiti zapitazo,García (12-0, 9 Ko) anasiya Cuba kuti Mexico ndi anzake womenya nkhonya Alexei Acosta. García (12-0, 9 Ko), n'kukakhala ku Nkhata Bay, Ireland, made his professional debut in 2008. He now lives in Peekskill, New York.
“Iwo anali aakulu kusintha pamene ndinasamukira Ireland kuposa izo zinali masabata asanu zapitazo pamene ndinasamukira kuno,” the 28-year-old Garcia explained. “It was a lot harder in Ireland because I didn’t speak a word of English. I learned English from the street, watching TV and reading. It’s not a big change for me to move around because I traveled all over the world when I was a member of the Cuban National Team.”

His last fight was a win by eight-round unanimous decision over previously undefeated (12-0) Alexander Johnson pa December 30, 2011 mu Cabazon, California.
“Iwo sanali ndasankha kulimbana zaka zinayi,” Garcia added. “Something happened with my now former manager and promoter. I trained all the time, sparred kwambiri, and did as much as I could do in the gym. I still had a contract until it expired. I’ve known Kevin for 2-3 Zaka. He asked me why I wasn’t fighting and I told him everything. He said to call him when my contract expired because he wanted to manage me and that’s what I did.
“America amapereka ine mpata wabwino, kuposa England kapena Ireland, and I’m going to finish my boxing career here. I’m fighting December 5TH and taking things step by step. I’m not going to rush. There are a lot of great fighters in the light heavyweight division and I hope to be in the mix next year.”
García awiri a ndewu isanafike womaliza motsutsana Johnson zochititsa chidwi 2010 luso knockouts akale dziko ngwazi Byron Mitchell (28-6-1) ndipo Jorge Rodriguez Olivera (19-1), ankalemekeza, lachiwiri ndi chimodzi zipolopolo.
“Ndinachoka nkhonya ndi zoipa kukoma m'kamwa mwanga koma ine ndinali kuyang'ana ndibwerera mu nkhonya,” anati Kevin Udindo, amene Co-amalowerera García ndi Patrick Brown. “I knew him from Ireland and I always wanted to manage this kid. He called to tell me his contract had expired and we worked out a deal that brought him here to live in New York.
“I honestly don’t see any rust watching him spar. I know sparring isn’t fighting but everybody in the gym stops to watch him workout. Ine ndikuganiza kuti moona mtima, yomweyo ali ndi uthenga ndewu pansi pa lamba, iye adzakhala pamwamba Woyesana m'kuunika katswiri woposa onse magawano. Luis García yabwino womenya Ine ndakhalapo akugwiritsa ntchito.”
