New York - After a two year layoff due to a legal battle to break his promotional contract with Top Rank, Mikey Garcia (36-0, 33 KO’s) returned to the ring and knocked out Elio Rojas (24-3, 14 KO’s) last July at the Barclays Center.

Garcia then went on to win the WBC lightweight title with a candidate for knockout of the year in his victory over Dejan Zlaticanin (22-1, 15 KO’s).

He now returns to the Barclays Center and what is his highest profile fight to date against former four division champion Adrien Broner (33-2, 24 KO’s), in a twelve round bout at 140 pounds.

According to his head trainer and brother, Robert Garcia, the fight with Broner was easy to make.

“The fight with Broner was easy to make, it's one of the biggest fights to make,” Garcia told BoxingScene.com. "We really weren’t thinking about it but when it came to us, it made the most sense.”

Robert Garcia feels Mikey’s best weight is 135-pounds, but would stick around 140 if the likes of Manny Pacquiao came forward.

“If Mikey wins this fight, I think Mikey wants to go back down to 135 because I think he wants (Jorge) Linares which would be the best fight for Mikey at 135,” stated Robert Garcia.

“Theres also talk about Lomachenko moving up and Mikey would definitely like the fight. If Mikey can beat Broner impressively, there’s going to be talk about staying at 140 against someone like Manny Pacquiao. Why would we go back down when we’d have a bigger pay-per-view fight with Pacquiao?”

According to Robert Garcia, it depends on what phone call they get first with respect to Mikey's next move after his fight with Broner.

“We’ve talked about that with Lomachenko’s promoter and manager about the fight,” stated Robert Garcia. “It all depends on the phone call we get whether it be Linares, Lomachenko, or Pacquiao.”
