Mario “El Azteca” Barrios (29-2, 18 KOs) will defend his title against Abel Ramos (28-6-2, 22 KOs). Azteca” Barrios is a rising star in the boxing world, known for his fierce fighting style and deep connection to his Mexican heritage. Mario grew up in San Antonio, Texas, and was introduced to the sport at age six by his mother, Isabel Soto, who took him and his sister Selina to a local gym.
Inspired by his cultural roots, Barrios adopted the nickname “El Azteca,” a tribute to the rich history and warrior spirit of the Aztec civilization, reflecting both his pride in his Mexican heritage and his tireless pursuit of greatness inside the ring.
A relentless welterweight contender from Casa Grande, Arizona, Abel Ramos is known for his exciting battles and relentless determination in the ring. Guided by his family’s boxing legacy, Ramos began his amateur career aged 13, earning accolades, placing third at the National Golden Gloves and winning bronze at the U.S. Nationals in 2010.
Moving to the professional ranks in 2011, he quickly earned a reputation for his power and toughness, facing formidable opponents Ivan Baranchyk and Regis Prograis.
