Garcia would later confirm the fight on Instagram.

Garcia made his pro debut in 2016. In November 2019 and February 2020, Garcia beat Romero Duno and Francisco Fonseca following two brutal knockouts to win and hold onto the WBC silver lightweight title. He passed his first major test in January 2021 when he beat Luke Campbell via TKO to win the interim WBC lightweight title.

Since then, Garcia has taken a break from boxing. In April 2021 he was supposed to fight Javier Fortuna but ended up not fighting to work on his mental health. Set to return this past November, Garcia would undergo hand surgery. The bout he missed was an interim title fight against Joseph Diaz.

Tagoe made his pro debut in 2004. After losing his first fight, Tagoe has won 32 in a row. A former IBO lightweight champion, Tagoe defended the title once. His last fight was in November 2020, beating Mason Menard via majority decision.
