# Danny Garcia Calls Out World Champion For Comeback: “It’s All About Timing”

Two-division world champion Danny Garcia is eyeing up a comeback to the sport, but has admitted that his solitary goal is to become a three-division world champion, with plans to jump back in at a new weight.

Garcia has fought just once since defeat to Errol Spence Jr in 2020, that being a majority-decision win over José Benavidez Jr. back in July 2022 on his debut at super-welterweight.

As a result, Danny Garcia is unranked at both welterweight and super-welterweight, but he has been persistent in his calls for a big fight, regardless of his inactivity and lack of ranking, [demanding clashes with the likes of Conor Benn](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/benn-called-out-by-former-world-champion/) and a rematch with Keith Thurman.

However, now Garcia appears to be eyeing up belts rather than names, and [he told PBC of his plans to move up once again and challenge Erislandy Lara for the WBA middleweight title](https://youtu.be/jkyW8r_ahPc?si=WP67513Kny9hTAZb), after failures to make that fight in the past.

*“Boxing is all about timing, and when the time comes and then say ‘Danny Garcia, it is your time to go’, I am going.*

*“I wanted to fight Lara, that’s who I thought I was going to fight, that’s who I was waiting for but it didn’t work out. So hopefully tonight, if he gets the victory or if he doesn’t get the victory, I would like to fight the winner out of that fight \[Lara-Zerafa\]. I want to be a three-division world champion.”*

[Lara went on to decimate Michael Zerafa in just two rounds on Saturday night](https://talksport.com/sport/1808722/oldest-world-champion-in-boxing-stunning-one-punch-ko/), putting the exclamation point on a second defence of his title and extending his knockout streak to three consecutive fights.

The Cuban-American remains the oldest world champion at 40-years-old, but is yet to unify world titles despite his 16-year-career, meaning he could opt to instead face Janibek Alimkhanuly in a three-belt unification bout.
