Garcia on Spence I Dont Duck Nobody It'll Eventually Happen

Danny Garcia assured anyone who would listen Saturday night that he's not ducking Errol Spence Jr.

A significant faction of fans and Spence himself doubt Garcia's willingness to fight the unbeaten IBF welterweight champ later this year. Garcia disputed that contention following his ninth-round stoppage of Brandon Rios at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.

'I don't duck nobody, bro,' Garcia told a group of reporters prior to the post-fight press conference. 'I don't duck nobody. If you wanna fight, let's fight. Like I said, Al Haymon's the manager. If you wanna fight, let's fight. I'm a fighter. That's what I do, I fight. Everyone they ever put in front of me, I fought. I never said no to no one.'

Garcia disagrees with the theory that even top welterweights don't want to get in the ring with the powerful Spence (23-0, 20 KOs).

The 2012 Olympian dominated and stopped former two-division champ Lamont Peterson after seven one-sided rounds January 20 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Philadelphia's Garcia (34-1, 20 KOs) won a debatable, 12-round majority decision against Peterson (35-4-1, 17 KOs) in March 2015 at Barclays Center.

Spence is scheduled to return June 16 at an undetermined venue in the Dallas area, but he doesn't have an opponent. The southpaw from DeSoto, Texas, could make a mandatory defense of his title that night against Mexico's Carlos Ocampo (22-0, 13 KOs).
