Former two-division champion Danny Garcia will be a middleweight debutant when he takes on Jose Benavidez Jr. in tonight’s Showtime event. After losing to Errol Spence Jr. in December 2020, Garcia’s return bout will see him fight a talented prospect of the 160lbs division.
Unlike Danny Garcia, Benavidez Jr. is yet to win a boxing world title. A failed attempt at Terence Crawford for the WBO Welterweight Championship halted his undefeated run in October 2018. He then disappeared from the sport for three years.

Benavidez Jr. returned against Francisco Emanuel Torres in November 2021 in a fight that ended in a controversial draw. After another long hiatus, he is ready to welcome 'Swift' into the middleweight division.
Boasting a 36-3 professional record, Danny Garcia is looking for another run at a world title. The 160lbs division can offer him a fresh start.
