Garcia claims that he immediately realized the training camp was not up to his standards and requested to be sent home.

In a recent appearance on the Little Giant Boxing podcast, Garcia expressed his discontent with the training camp in London. He stated that there were things being done and people involved that didn't align with his style. Garcia even went as far as to say that he asked the management team to send him home because he couldn't bear being part of the camp any longer. He eventually decided to stay and made some changes, which led to a successful outcome.
