Mikey Garcia will make his boxing return this weekend when he takes on Jessie Vargas in Texas on a bumper night of action.

Garcia lost to Errol Spence Jr in March 2016, the first defeat of his professional career after 39 straight wins.

He’s now set to make his comeback against Vargas, an American who has only won three of his last seven bouts.

There’s a host of top-level boxing on the undercard too including British stars Kal Yafai and Jay Harris.



This fight will take place on Saturday, February 29 and is being held at the Ford Center at The Star in Texas.

The ring walks are expected from 4am UK time on Sunday, March 1 but that will depend on the undercard results.

Former Team GB Olympian Kal Yafai will defend his WBA super-flyweight title on the undercard.

There’s further British interest before the main event with Jay Harris taking on Julio Cesar Martinez for the WBC flyweight title.

Joseph Parker, who lost to Anthon Joshua and Dillian Whyte in 2018, will also be in action as he faces Shawndell Winters.
