MIKEY GARCÍA: “I DON’T DODGE ANYONE!”

WBC lightweight champion Mikey Garcia, wants to stay engaged and patient, not taking his eye off the main goal.

Conference call linked to the weekly WBC presser at the Rail Union in Mexico City, He outlined and signaled his plans, following the announcement that his fight against Sergey Lipinets  is  postponed until March 10th, due to an injury suffered by the Russian.

A development that took Mikey  by surprise, but he’ll  continue training, to maintain the sheen on his lean frame. He also confirmed he’s ready to fight the best, including Vasyl Lomachenko. Yet his more pressing  goal is Venezuelan Jorge Linares.

“Throughout my career I have been characterized and defined by facing the best.  I want to make it clear that I am ready for those who want to fight me.

“I know that the public wants to see me against Linares and I want the same.  I’m determined  to show that I am better than Jorge. So I hope to hear soon from his team, because for the WBC, this is a mandatory fight.”
