To watch Garcia vs. Fortuna online using DAZN, you’ll only need a subscription to the service (no separate purchase required).

Once you’re signed up, you’ll be able to live stream Garcia vs. Fortuna online through your streaming devices, smart TV, laptop, or phone.
A monthly DAZN subscription is non-binding, so, if you only want to watch the Garcia vs. Fortuna fight, you can sign up for a month and cancel after. However, DAZN boasts dozens of boxing matches throughout the year, so a subscription is certainly worth it if you’re a boxing fan.
The Garcia vs. Fortuna fight is also available on PPV.com for $34.99 (and includes a month of DAZN for free), although it’s cheaper to buy the month-long DAZN subscription above and get the Garcia vs. Fortuna fight for free.
How to Watch Garcia vs. Fortuna Online Free
Sadly, there is no (legal) way to stream Garcia vs. Fortuna online for free. If you’re already a DAZN member, you’ll be able to watch Garcia vs. Fortuna for free, as it’s not a DAZN PPV fight. However, those without a DAZN membership will have to shell out at least $19.99 to get a DAZN membership and live stream Garcia vs. Fortuna. The bright side is that your new DAZN membership will get you plenty of free boxing content in the future, if you keep your membership.
Garcia vs. Fortuna Odds, Prediction, Undercard
Although Fortuna is the old pro (37-3-1, 26 KOs), he faces Garcia as the underdog with odds of +800, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
Fortuna, now 32 years old, turned pro in 2009 and went on to hold the WBA interim featherweight title from 2012 to 2013, and later the WBA super featherweight title from 2015 to 2016. He’s fought five times since 2018 (winning four of them) when he fell out of the ring during a bout with Adrian Granados. Most recently, the Dominican boxer knocked out Rafael Hernandez in February of this year.
Garcia, meantime, enters the ring as a heavy favorite with odds of -1050. The American boxer is almost a decade younger than Fortuna but boasts a stellar undefeated record of 22-0 with 22 KOs. In 2016, Garcia went pro at just 17 years old, after building an impressive amateur record of 215–15.
The fight between Garcia and Fortuna was originally slated to take place way back in January of 2021, but Garcia pulled out in order to focus on his mental health at the time. The fight was further delayed when Garcia underwent hand surgery, which put the young star out of commission for 15 months.
Tonight’s undercard also includes a welterweight fight between Alexis Rocha vs. Samuel Kotey, a super-featherweight fight with Lamont Roach Jr. and Angel Rodriguez, and a flyweight bout between Ricardo Sandoval and David Jimenez.
To watch Garcia vs. Fortuna live online tonight, be sure to get a DAZN subscription before the big event.
