Danny Garcia Next Fight: Boxing Champ Says Extra Toe Is Reason He Never Loses His Balance
Danny Garcia is an undefeated boxer that may have a slight advantage over his opponents. Garcia has an extra toe on his right foot.
TMZ reporters caught up with Garcia in New York. He is in New York getting ready for his fight against Lamont Peterson Saturday in Brooklyn.
The TMZ reporter asked Garcia to name something embarrassing about himself, like his favorite Disney Movie or "something that would really blow people's minds."
Without hesitating, Garcia made the reveal about his extra toe.
He said he used to be embarrassed as a kid that he had the extra toe. He said he still has six toes now.
The reporter asked him if he thinks he has an advantage with the sixth toe.
"No doubt. That's why I've never been down and I never lose my balance," Garcia said.
In 29 fights, Garcia has a 29-0 record with 17 knockouts.
The reporter hesitated and said he would like to see the sixth toe but did not think that Garcia would show him.
Garcia did not mind and proceeded to take off his right shoe and sock. Sure enough, Garcia does have six toes on his right foot.
The reporter called the extra toe "a gift from God" and asked again if Garcia considered his extra toe a competitive advantage.
"Yes, sir, that's why I'm never off balance, and I've never been down," he said.
Garcia will fight Peterson Saturday night on NBC. The event begins at 8:30 p.m. Eastern time and will also include the Middleweight Title bout between WBO champion Andy Lee and Peter Quillin.
Peterson is 33-2-1 with 17 knockouts and only has five toes on each foot.
Do you think Garcia's sixth toe helps him be a better boxer? Or is it just a superstition?
