His opponent Ivan Redkach comes into battle with 23-4-1 (18 KOs) and off a KO win over Devon Alexander in June 2019.
During their media workout, both fighters said the following
Danny Garcia:
“This is a very important fight for me and my future. My future starts on Saturday night. I’ve already been in a lot of big fights in my career, so it’s nothing new to me. I know Redkach is hungry, but I know what it
takes to win on this level and I’m hungry. I feel like I have unfinished business here in Brooklyn. This is my house and I plan on making a statement in front of my fans on Saturday”
Ivan Redkach:
“The biggest weakness I see in Danny is that he’s not taking this seriously. He’s counting on this as a tune-up fight, and that’s a big mistake. This is not going to be a tune-up fight for him“
