Three division world champion Mikey Garcia (36-0, 30 KOs) believes he is one win away from gaining the key to doorway of big fights.

Garcia will be heading up to the junior welterweight division on Saturday night, when he faces four division world champion Adrien Broner at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

This will be Garcia's third fight since snapping a two-year stint of inactivity last year, after sitting on the shelf while waging a legal war to break his promotional contract with Top Rank.

Garcia made a huge statement in January, after he demolished Dejan Zlaticanin with a brutal third round knockout to capture the WBC title at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

"After I've beat Adrien Broner, it will really help my career and help my popularity and I think that opens doors for bigger fights and I am only a few fights away from being recognised as one of the best pound-for-pounders and this is a big step towards doing that," Garcia told Sky Sports.

If Garcia wins, some critics are going to call him a sure-fight pound-for-pound fighter, while others are already comparing him to the second coming of Oscar De La Hoya. But Garcia is not chasing the recognition of either. He wants put in the best performances possible so the fans and media will decide his standing in the sport.

"I will let the fans and media decide," Garcia said. "I am not looking for or chasing anything like that. If the media and the fans see me or recognised me as the next big star or the star of this generation, that's what they see.

"I am not after that though, I am just after big fights, giving memorable fights and leave my impression on boxing by winning world titles in multiple divisions as I have been. I am not looking for some new status or recognition from one group of people - that's the media and the fans who decide when I am the best boxer. I am not chasing that, it will come on its own."
