Mario Barrios and Ryan Garcia Complete 14-Day Pre-Weigh-In

The World Boxing Council (WBC) champion, Mario “Azteca” Barrios, will face Ryan Garcia on February 21 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The bout will be broadcast globally via the DAZN platform.
Mario Barrios (29-2-2, 18 KOs) enters this commitment, following a period of consolidation in the 147-pound division. After capturing the interim title in 2023 by defeating Yordenis Ugás and defending it against Fabián Maidana, Barrios was elevated to undisputed champion following Terence Crawford’s departure from the division. His last two defenses ended in draws: first against Abel Ramos in November 2024, and most recently this past July against Filipino legend Manny Pacquiao.
For his part, Ryan Garcia (24-2, 20 KOs) seeks redemption following a turbulent year. Garcia returns to the ring after a defeat against Rolando Romero last May.
Both warriors successfully met the 14-day pre-weigh-in established by the WBC. Barrios tipped the scales at 153 pounds, while Garcia recorded 154.2 pounds. The World Boxing Council congratulates both fighters and their camps for their discipline and commitment to the organization’s rules and regulations..
