# Danny Garcia: Nobody Can Beat Me When I’m Motivated

A trip to the Barclays Centre to watch [Gervonta Davis](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/gervonta-davis-blasts-romero/) fight gave Danny Garcia a taste of what he had been missing.

[The former two-weight world champion](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dhr_AOxRclQ) returns for his ninth fight at the Brooklyn venue against Jose Benavidez Jr on July 30.

Garcia has been out of the ring for 18 months [since losing to Errol Spence Jr](https://wp.boxing-social.com/news/revitalised-spence-outshines-garcia/) for the unified welterweight championship. The Philadelphian will now campaign at super welterweight beginning next month at his favourite arena.

Speaking during a virtual press conference for next month’s bout, Garcia said:

> “I felt the atmosphere at Barclays Center at the Gervonta Davis fight and I felt what I was missing.”
>
> “I went there to feel that motivation and it was great. We’re going to give everyone a great night just like at that last fight. ”
>
> “I was in the first main event at Barclays Centre, and I’ve been building a fanbase there over the last 10 years. Brooklyn is the perfect place to build a fanbase and I’m honoured to be a part of Barclays Centre’s history.”

And the 34-year-old believes fighting at the bigger frame of 154lbs will suit him and provide a more youthful presence in the ring.

> “I’ve been fighting at 140 and 147 since the amateurs, for 13 years. I always felt my natural weight was bigger and I was squeezing down. I feel like this weight fits me good. I feel young and fresh. I’m strong and with a lot more stamina.”

Garcia admits that fighting at such a high level for ten years against premier opposition began to take its toll on him and a break was needed.

> “It’s only right as a human that you would get a little mentally tired. I needed a break so that I could miss boxing.”
>
> “I knew that once I came back in the gym motivated and missing the sport, that nobody could beat Danny Garcia.”
