WBC lightweight champion Mikey Garcia (36-0, 30 KOs) is ready for much bigger things - if he comes away with a victory on Saturday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Garcia will head up to the junior welterweight limit of 140-pounds to take on four division world champion Adrien "The Problem" Broner (33-2, 24 KOs) in a high profile showdown.
The contest will be televised by Showtime and Sky Sports.
If Garcia wins, he would like to drop back down in weight - possibly in a unification with WBA champion Jorge Linares.
Linares is scheduled to return in September and was recently by the WBA ordered to face Olympic gold medal winner Luke Campbell.
The fight is up at super-lightweight with no belt on the line and although he is expecting Broner to be the toughest test of his career, the WBC lightweight champion admits his goal is to go back down to face Linares, the WBC Diamond and WBA champion at 135lbs.
"My initial plan is to come back down to unify the titles," Garcia told Sky Sports. "I would really like to unify lightweight and become the man, the king of the division before I move up. Taking this fight with Adrien Broner is a very interesting fight and I wasn't able to secure any unification fights at the moment.
If there is no Linares, Garcia would be open to the idea of facing the winner of next month's big junior welterweight unification between Terence Crawford (WBC & WBO) and Julius Indongo (WBA, IBO & IBF).
"The options are going to be big after this fight, so I would definitely look at fighting the winner of Crawford-Indongo and those sort of fights. We have to be flexible and adjust and adapt with the business and move on. We can't sit around waiting, waiting and waiting, I need to be taking control with my career and take it forward. I want to take on Linares after this," Garcia said.
