"Danny Garcia (37-4, 21 KOs) is from Philadelphia, but he has managed to create a second boxing home at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. He headlined the first boxing event at the venue in October 2012, and he has gone on to fight there a total of nine times with a record of seven wins and two loses. With his boxing career winding down at age 37, Garcia will headline an event at Barclays once again on Saturday, at a card billed as "Farewell to Brooklyn," which Garcia is also promoting. His 10th and final fight in the arena will be against Daniel Gonzalez (Millions.co PPV)."
""For me to be able to promote my last fight at the Barclay Center and do it because I want to, not because I have to, just means the world to me," Garcia told ESPN. "It's a dream come true and I couldn't ask for a better ending.""
