GARCIA v LIPINETS Box Nation 10th March 2018
Boxing ace Mikey Garcia will attempt to become a four-weight World Champion when he faces unbeaten 140-pound titleholder Sergey Lipinets, exclusively live on BoxNation on March 10th.
30-year-old Garcia, with a record of 37 fights unbeaten with 30 KOs, is regarded amongst the best pound-for-pound fighters around and will be looking to add Lipinets' IBF Super-Lightweight crown to his collection.
The Kazakh-born boxer however will be in no mood to surrender his Championship belt and has dismissed all 13 of his opponents, with 10 of those failing to hear the final bell.
Californian Garcia enjoyed an impressive 2017 by scoring a highlight reel knockout of Dejan Zlaticanin to win the WBC Lightweight World Title in January, before dominating four-division champion Adrien Broner on his way to a unanimous decision in July.
With a win, Garcia would become only the third fighter in modern history to become Champion at 126, 130, 135 and 140-pounds, joining future Hall-of-Famers Juan Manuel Marquez and Manny Pacquiao.
Taking place at the Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio, Garcia, who hails from a famous boxing family, will be looking to do them proud.
28-year-old Lipinets is a genuine 140-pounder and he will be hoping that the leap up in weight will be too much for Garcia.
Trained by Buddy McGirt, Lipinets captured his World Title in his last fight by defeating Akihiro Kondo via a unanimous decision in November. He is well aware a victory over the accomplished Garcia will cement his place as a top-level operator.
