For middleweight boxer Elijah Garcia, fighting is a family affair. 'It's just, my dad took me to a boxing gym, and I just fell in love with it,' said Garcia.
"It's just, my dad took me to a boxing gym, and I just fell in love with it," said Garcia."Like, boxing was great. I just hated training," said Garcia Jr."My dad loved boxing," he added."He had like 20 fights. He would just go fight for money. You know, he would go make some money," said Garcia Jr.We asked Elijah what it is about fighting that gives him the ultimate feeling. He responded,"I think it's just you know, getting your hand raised.
It helps that the young warrior has wise men in his corner while he's training and when it's time to get in the ring. Elijah holds two belts, the WBA Intercontinental title and WBC Latino Title, but he's far from done. The young father tells us he won't stop until he's at the top."He's good, man. He could be a world champion. Yeah, it's like I said. He's not scared to lose. So, he's confident," said Garcia Jr.We asked Elijah where he sees his future in boxing.
