According to veteran trainer Robert Garcia, former middleweight champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. has not tried to retain his services, contrary to the rumors going around. There were some minor discussions at one point last year.

Top Rank is trying to finalize a fight between Chavez and WBA/IBO middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin for July 19th.

"There have been no approaches for working with me, just send texts with congratulations on the wins of my fighters, and I reply, but that's all," Garcia said.

Chavez's corner is currently led coach Vladimir Baldenebro.
