Danny Garcia targets old foes Keith Thurman and Errol Spence Jr.

Danny Garcia has said he wants to avenge losses to Errol Spence Jr. and Keith Thurman before his career is over.

Philadelphia’s Garcia is 37-3 (21 KOs) and now 36 years old. He has not boxed since a majority decision win over Jose Benavidez Jr. in July 2022.

“I would love to fight Errol Spence for a rematch, I would love to avenge at least one of my losses before this is all said and done,” Garcia recently told Fight Hub TV. ”If I can get a rematch with one of those guys and come back and fight another fight, that would be crazy.”

Garcia said he is weighing 168 pounds with his clothes on and he would even prefer to fight Thurman over Spence, if he has the chance, when he returns at 154 pounds. He lost a decision to both and insisted he still wants to fight again, regardless of who it is against.

Garcia added that he had been in communication with PBC head Al Haymon and that he just welcomed a third child to his family, so he had been occupied away from the ring.

“I want to fight, but right now it’s a timing thing,” he said. “I’m not getting younger, but I’m also not damaging my body. When I fought Benavidez in 2022, my mindset was, ‘I’m gonna fight in 2023 and fight in 2024, and let me see what I wanna do.’”

There were no fights in either of those years, but he had hoped a fight with Cuba’s Erislandy Lara would result in him winning the WBA middleweight title and then being moved into a megafight.

“Right now, I have to get a fight and build it into that,” he said. “I want to fight and then do a big fight.”

But Garcia also is not sure what path he will take.

“I’m a PBC fighter, and right now they don’t have a schedule,” he said. “They’re basically doing just a fight at a time, that’s what it looks like. So I don’t think there’s no date after the Gervonta Davis [June 15] fight, so right now it’s about timing.”

Garcia has fought, as well as Spence, Benavidez and Thurman, Amir Khan, Ivan Redkach, Shawn Porter, Brandon Rios, Robert Guerrero, Paulie Malignaggi, Lamont Peterson, Lucas Matthysse, Zab Judah, Erik Morales (twice), Kendall Holt and Nate Campbell.

“I could take two years off and these guys still won’t have my resume,” Garcia said.
