Danny Garcia praised his upcoming opponent, Errol Spence Jr. for having the courage to step inside the ring, following a horrific car accident last year. Spence Jr. rolled over his Ferrari in that incident and fought a tough battle with life outside the ring. So tough, that his boxing career was also put at stake. However, he successfully overcame the adversary and is ready to defend his WBC [https://wbcboxing.com/en/] and IBF welterweight titles against ‘Swift’ in a main-event clash. That said, Garcia tagged his opponent as “brave” for being able to get back the fighting spirit. Errol Spence Jr. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/errol-spence-jr/] is still unbeaten inside the ring which gives Garcia an opportunity to land a major upset. ‘Swift’ is ready to do that but similarly has his respect for ‘The Truth.’ He connected with reporter Lance Pugmire to pour opinion on Errol Spence Jr, before the high-voltage clash. Danny Garcia said, “In the beginning I was, I ain’t gonna lie. You know. I was like whoa. You know this guy (Errol Spence Jr.), he is brave. But, you know, the doctor said you can fight, and he feels physically ready, mentally ready. Hey, you do what you want to do.” He added, “But you know, I had a great camp. I know, I am ready. So, I can’t really worry about him.” ERROL SPENCE JR. VS DANNY GARCIA- ANYTHING CAN HAPPEN Although Garcia has two losses alongside 36 wins, he is a threat to the welterweight division. As one of the best technical counter punchers, Garcia has all the skills to dethrone Spence Jr. Meanwhile, Spence Jr is highly athletic and a big puncher. He has beaten all of his adversaries to cement himself amongst the greatest. While the car accident might have caused some physical damage, he seems unbothered about it. When the bell rings, both the boxers will have the chance to depart with a win. The man to land the bigger shots and maintain his composure throughout will walk off with a victory. Who do you think will be the early aggressor? Danny Garcia or Errol Spence Jr.?

<h3 style="text-align: center">Danny Garcia Net Worth 2024, Next Fight, Partner, Record &amp; More</h3>
<h2 style="text-align: center">Who is Danny Garcia?</h2>
Born on March 20, 1988, Danny Garcia is a professional boxer who has held world titles in three weight divisions. He has held multiple world titles in two different weight classes, i.e. Super-lightweight and Welterweight. Though Philadelphia, United States, happens to be his birthplace, Garciaâ€™s parents are from Puerto Rico.

Known by his nickname "Swift", he has become one of boxing's most recognized figures.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Danny Garciaâ€™s Early Life</h2>
Danny Garcia began his boxing journey at the age of five under the guidance of his father, Angel Garcia, a former boxer and now his trainer. When Danny was ten, Angel took him to the Harrowgate Boxing Club to hone his skills. Inspired by legendary boxers like Puerto Rican great Carlos Ortiz, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, and Julio Cesar Chavez, Garcia quickly developed a passion for the sport.

Garcia grew up in Philadelphia with his parents, Angel and Maritza Garcia, and his twin sisters, Sianney and Angelise Garcia. The twins, known as "The SiAngie Twins," are popular musicians with a significant following on social media.

Garcia had an impressive amateur career, with a record of 107 wins and 13 losses. His achievements include the 2005 U.S. under-19 National Championship and the 2006 U.S. National Amateur Title. In 2006, the â€˜Swiftâ€™ defeated Luis Ramos to grab the U.S. national championship in the 60 kg. He turned professional in 2007, making an immediate impact with a first-round knockout victory over Mike Denby.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Danny Garciaâ€™s Partner and Children</h2>
Danny Garcia and partner Erica Mendez have been in a relationship for a long time. On August 15, 2015, the couple welcomed Philly Swift Garcia into their lives. Born on January 9, 1994, Erica Mendez is a well-known R&amp;B artist. Among her many accomplishments, the trained opera singer has opened for legends, Aretha Franklin, besides performing alongside Alicia Keys. Her rendition of the National Anthem at a Philadelphia Phillies game grabbed major headlines.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Danny Garciaâ€™s Net Worth 2024</h2>
According to â€˜celebritynetworth.comâ€™, Danny Garciaâ€™s net worth hovers in the vicinity of $8 million. Though details of the former world champion's purse for all the fights remain scanty, information about the money Garcia made from some of the key fights is as follows:
<ol>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">Vs. Jose Benavidez: So a few reports suggest that for the 2022 non-title bout, which was taking place nearly 18 months after he went on a break, the â€˜Swiftâ€™ received a guaranteed purse of $1 million alongside 70% share in the overall PPV revenue.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">Vs. Errol Spence Jr.: It was a big money spinner for Danny Garcia going against a star boxer like Spence Jr. The title match reportedly made him richer by $5 million in addition to the share in pay-per-view buyouts.</li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">Vs. Shawn Porter: ESPN reported that for their 2018 fight, while â€˜Showtimeâ€™ received $1 million, Danny Garcia took home around $1.2 million.</li>
 	<li>Vs. Keith Thurman: The year before the Shawn Porter fight, the â€˜Swiftâ€™ made around $2 million when he went against â€˜One Timeâ€™.</li>
</ol>
Danny Garcia made slightly over half a million dollars in the Amir Khan bout. However, things turned when he made his first million in the rematch with Eric Morales. 
<h2 style="text-align: center">Danny Garciaâ€™s Career Timeline, Career Stats and Record</h2>
Danny Garcia announced his arrival with a knockout! On November 17, 2007, he stopped Mike Denby in the opening round of his professional debut. Garcia repeated the feat in the next five outings consecutively. Nearly two years after he started, Danny Garcia won his first title, a regional one. He knocked out Enrique Colin in the second round and became the WBC Youth Intercontinental light welterweight champion.

Six months later, climbing up a division, he secured the next regional championship, the vacant WBC Youth interim welterweight. Continuing on his winning streak, the following year, he became the WBOâ€™s intercontinental light welterweight champion.

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-327003 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200729123548/danny-garcia_11.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="480" />
Danny Garcia's moment came when he scored a unanimous victory over legend Eric Morales on October 20, 2012, and grabbed the vacant WBC light welterweight belt. A couple of months later, while retaining his WBC title, he added the WBA (super) and the vacant Ring titles to his kitty during the title unification against Amir Khan. Over a rematch with Morales, then the bouts against Zab Judah and Lucas Matthysse, the â€˜Swiftâ€™ defended his titles successfully four times till March 15, 2014.

Garcia waded through non-title bouts for the next one year. The period saw him score an impressive win over former champion Paulie Malignaggi. However, it was time to switch gears. On January 23, 2016, Danny Garcia returned to welterweight again and defeated Roberto Guerro unanimously and became the WBC welterweight champion. However, on March 4, 2017, luck finally abandoned Garcia when a challenge to Keith Thurman ended in a split decision defeat, his first professional loss.

Till 2020, the â€˜Swiftâ€™ tried his best to become a world title holder again. But to no avail. Though after the failed attempt against Shawn Porter, he won WBCâ€™s silver welterweight title, the fight against Spence Jr. also proved futile. Proceeding with a long break, Danny Garcia didnâ€™t return to the ring until July 30, 2022, when he did to face David Benavidezâ€™s elder brother, Jose Benavidez Jr. Thus, in a career that has spanned over a decade, Danny Garcia has participated in forty professional fights, where he emerged victorious in 37 matches. Early stoppage in 21 of those wins rendered him a knockout-to-win rate of 56.76%.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Danny Garciaâ€™s Contract</h2>
Marking a significant shift in his career, Danny Garcia signaled a move from competing inside the ring to organizing and promoting fights. He debuted with his promotional venture, Swift Promotions, by hosting an event on June 15 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The event titled â€˜Tale of Garcia/The Grind Season Iâ€™ featured several exciting matchups, including the main event between Sonny â€˜The Broncoâ€™ Conto and Quintin Sumpter. Explaining the broad objectives behind the venture, Danny Garcia stressed that basically, he wanted to focus on young talents, particularly those from the Philadelphia area and Puerto Rican prospects.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Danny Garciaâ€™s Titles</h2>
Letâ€™s explore the titles Danny Garcia won over the years in chronological order:
<ol>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400">December 2, 2009, vs. Enrique Colin (KO): WBC Youth Intercontinental Light Welterweight</li>
 	<li>July 30, 2010, vs. Jorge Romero (TKO): WBC Youth Interim Welterweight (vacant)</li>

Errol Spence Jr’s Signature Boxing Techniques Let’s review in greater depth about Errol Spence Jr.’s boxing style. Pressure fighter with a Strong lead hand: Errol Spence Jr. is great at putting most of the opponents on the defensive because of his ability to gauge the distance required to apply the apt pressure. Besides the jab, a remarkable ring generalship aids him in forcing the opponents onto the ropes.  Thus they either end up wasting energy through constant movements or, left with no other option, stay put against him. Finally, using the ‘shift technique,’ Spence Jr. applies pressure by quickly closing the distance and surprising the opponent with a powerful shot.  An excellent example of a referral could be the sixth round against Mikey Garcia. Puncher-boxer: In many ways, Errol Spence Jr. holds the ideal traits of a ‘Boxer Puncher’ with a slight tilt towards swarming. Strong in boxing fundamentals, the cornerstones of the American’s efficient and effective approach in the ring include a jab and a straight left to either head or body. Another aspect that needs special consideration is his ability to battle on the inside. The deadly combination of his aggression, physicality, and power, is often too much for his opponents. Block And Counter: The defensive and counterpunching prowess of Errol Spence Jr. often gets overlooked. But those form a critical part of his arsenal. Then he also uses his feet to great use by keeping a distance, thus making himself a challenging target to hit.  Likewise, he has put in much effort to improve this area. His ability to collect shots with his glove and counterattack is best exemplified during the Shawn Porter bout. He took more punishment in the fight, but his performance is still rated outstanding. Body Shots: As an owner of body punches rated among the best in the business, Spence Jr.’s competitor often suffers a stinging pain whenever he gets near them or tries to get on their inside. Likewise, during the offensive mode, if Spence Jr. faces trouble connecting with the opponent’s head, he switches to body assault. Though essentially a southpaw, he doesn’t hesitate to deliver a right hook to the body in the tight quarter. Once he pins his opponents down, Spence Jr. goes for a relentless attack knowing very well that targeting the body will keep the former more occupied, leaving the head vulnerable.  Shoulder Roll: Errol Spence Jr. evades powerful strikes without slipping or partially absorbing impact by using the shoulder roll, a technique brought to perfection by the Mayweather family. The method presents invaluable time for him to retaliate instantly without blocking the blow. Errol Spence Jr’s car collection and other luxuries Unlike many superstar boxers, Errol Spence Jr.’s car collection remains modest. However, they are all muscle cars that move like the wind. 1. Ferrari 488 Spider &#8211; One of Ferrari’s top-of-the-line offerings, priced at $284,700, this beauty boasts a 3.9 liter V8 engine, twin-turbocharged to produce 670 horsepower. Often regarded as the automobile maker’s most potent convertible ever, it has a top speed of 205 miles per hour and covers zero to sixty miles per hour in three seconds. Unfortunately, Spence Jr. was involved in an accident while driving the vehicle in 2019. 2. Lamborghini Gallardo &#8211; With its V10 engine producing a monstrous 550 horsepower, the Gallardo is one of the most extreme examples of Italian automotive genius. It is a product of Lamborghini’s decades-long history of producing luxury automobiles simultaneously, making it one of the most user-friendly supercars ever produced. The world champion might own other chariots. However, their details could not be sourced. Among other luxury goods, Spence Jr. rewards himself with a brand-new watch whenever he can.  Besides possessing a skeleton face and an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak, ‘The Truth’ reportedly planned on getting a Richard Mille. A Cologne connoisseur, his collection of expensive sprays includes Maison Francis Kurkdjian. After the 2019 fatal car accident, Errol Spence Jr. bought a sixty-acre ranch in DeSoto, Texas, where he spends time riding horses and caring for the cattle.

One, in particular, came out critical. In October 2019, roughly two months after he packed off Shawn Porter, Errol Spence Jr. met with a severe car accident in Dallas, Texas, during the wee hours. He lost control of his Ferrari 488 Spider. The vehicle flipped many times, even as the champion was thrown out. Reportedly, he hadn’t put on the seatbelt.  Finally, in June 2022, it was discovered that Spence Jr. had been driving under the influence. Therefore, he was imprisoned for three days and received a $3400 fine. The second incident happened three after the dangerous October crash. According to ‘The Truth, ’ a vehicle rear-ended his G Wagon. Incidentally, his insurance provider refused to cover him after the collision. The third accident occurred last December. As it turned out, a fourteen-year-old, who had taken his parent’s car, ran a red light and crashed into the front of his SUV. The accident reportedly resulted in a minor leg injury for the world champion.  He said, “I wanna say no serious injuries on the top, thank God for that man. I wasn’t injured, he wasn’t injured, and we weren’t having serious injuries. So it’s all blessings.”  Name Errol Spence Jr.  Born March 3, 1990   Place of Birth Long Island, New York  Nationality American  Education High School  Parents Father &#8211; Errol Spence Sr.  / Debra Spence  Height 5 feet 9 inches (175 inches)  Weight 145.5 lbs.
