Mikey Garcia realizes full well, however, that he has accepted a difficult assignment Saturday night in Las Vegas. Garcia will attempt to become a three-division world champion at Zlaticanin’s expense, yet understands Zlaticanin will offer much more resistance than Elio Rojas did nearly six months ago in Garcia’s first fight at lightweight.

This is not the opportunity Dejan Zlaticanin had originally been waiting for, but it’s a big bout nonetheless, one in which a victory will open doors wide for him.
