Mario \u201cAzteca\u201d Barrios<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0Mario Barrios turned professional in 2013 and built a solid career at super lightweight before moving up to welterweight.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2019, he became super lightweight world champion, successfully defending his title before facing elite-level opposition.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2024, after holding the interim WBC welterweight title, he was elevated to full champion once the belt became vacant.<\/span><\/p>\n

His dazzling hand speed and devastating left hook positioned him as one of the lightweight division\u2019s brightest prospects.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2021, he captured the interim WBC lightweight title by knocking out Luke Campbell, solidifying himself as a legitimate contender.<\/span><\/p>\n

He has faced high-level challenges across multiple divisions, aiming to firmly establish himself among the sport\u2019s elite.<\/span><\/p>\n
