Top prospect on Magna bill

The 23-year-old Cuban has been tipped as a future world champion and aims to take a stride towards his goal at Magna next Saturday.

Promoter Dave Coldwell is delighted with the capture, Garcia’s capture making it a ten-bout show with Curtis Woodhouse’s prospective punch-fest against Jason Cook tipping the bill while Ryan Rhodes faces a potential career-stopper against dangerous Belarussian Siarhei Khomitski.

Said Coldwell: “It’s one of those nights that has got everyone talking. People from London are buying tickets and advance sales alone have made it the biggest show since Clinton Wood’s world championship win at Magna five years ago.

“To get Garcia is a massive plus for us. He’s a tremendous fighter and takes the quality of the show up even higher—the fans will love him.

“Both Curtis and Ryan face fights that are big gambles—lose them and we’ll have to think seriously about where they go from here.
