BROOKLYN – Philadelphia boxing great, the former two-division world champion Danny “Swift” Garcia, will return to the ring at the friendly confines of Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Saturday, October 18 in a “FAREWELL TO BROOKLYN” event celebrating the fans and arena that have supported Garcia throughout his storied history of delivering memorable moments over the course of his career.

Garcia will headline a Swift Promotions event in a 10-round super welterweight tilt against Queens-native Daniel “El Gallo” Gonzalez. A fan-favorite at the premier East Coast boxing venue, Garcia will step into the ring for his record 10^th fight at Barclays Center, dating back to him headlining the first-ever boxing event at the arena in 2012.

“The fans have supported me the whole way since I first fought here and have made Brooklyn feel like my home outside of Philly,” said Garcia. “There’s nothing like a big fight night at Barclays Center. I had to do this show for the fans and show them how much I’ve appreciated them this entire time. The best way to say goodbye is by fighting here one last time and giving them a tremendous night of boxing full of rising young talent. It’s gonna be the DSG show in Brooklyn once again on October 18!”

“We are honored to once again host Danny Garcia and it has been a privilege to witness his career milestones unfold in our arena over the past decade,” said Laurie Jacoby, Executive Vice President and Chief Entertainment Officer at Brooklyn Sports & Entertainment (BSE), parent company of Barclays Center. “Boxing has long been part of Brooklyn’s cultural identity and is an integral part of our diverse programming at Barclays Center, and hosting this historic night not only celebrates Danny’s legacy but also reaffirms our commitment to bringing world-class events to the borough.”
