FRISCO, Texas – Errol Spence Jr. doesn’t want to take a tune-up fight in what will be his first appearance after suffering serious injuries in a car accident 4½ months ago.

More than anything, Garcia was relieved to learn Spence didn’t suffer permanent, prohibitive injuries in a one-car crash early the morning of October 10 in downtown Dallas.
