Danny Garcia: ‘It’s The Real Danny Versus The Fake Danny’

“I’ve been doing my own shows in Philly and I wanted to keep making Swift Promotions bigger and this was the best way to do it.

“Being a part of Philly boxing legacy is incredible. It’s legendary. It really shows that if you put in the hard work, you can really be somebody. To be mentioned with the other Philly boxing greats is a testimony to the hard work and everything we’ve been through.

“I don’t regret anything that’s happened in my career. The wins, the losses, it all made me Danny Garcia. So we’re gonna go out there on October 18 and show the world one last time that I belong in that Hall of Fame.”
