After the win over Jose Benavidez last weekend, Garcia admits he has had a difficult time over the past year and a half.

Garcia, who won in the super-welterweight division, had his last professional fight in December 2020. Since then, he has faced a battle tougher than any opponent in the ring, battling anxiety and depression.

"I went through a very difficult time, a lot of pressure, I had a lot of anxiety," Garcia admitted in tears after the match against Benavidez quoted by Marca.

"I felt too much pressure for everything. It was very difficult for a year and a half."

"The pressures of life, boxing and being a good father waited for me for a year and a half," he continued.

"I'm a fighter, that's what I love to do. If you have anxiety and depression, you get over it, that's what I'm doing today."

Garcia highlighted his father's support who was by his side in every moment a fighter needed him, and not just as his coach.

"My dad was there with me, I am nothing without this man, I thank him every day," she said.
