Ryan Garcia, known as “KingRy,” attempts to finally hold gold when he challenges Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight title. The fight in Las Vegas airs on DAZN.
Garcia (24-2) has become one of boxing’s biggest stars when it comes to social media. The 27-year-old has plenty of power, with twenty wins via knockout. This is his third attempt at winning gold.
Garcia failed to capture gold against Devin Haney after issues with a drug test and missing weight. He also got dropped against Rolando Romero for a belt. Now, Garcia hopes the third time is the charm as he begins a new chapter in his career, with his dad by his side as his head coach.
“What it means to me in my heart is to win this title for my dad because I know how much that will mean to him more,” Garcia said via The Sun. “I’m definitely gonna hold this proudly, I’m gonna be flexing it like all these other guys.
Barrios (29-2-2) beat Yordenis Ugas for interim gold and later became the full-time champion. Despite holding onto gold, he’s gone 0-0-2 against Abel Ramos and Manny Pacquiao.
With former Garcia trainer Joe Goossen by his side and motivated to prove he deserves to hold gold, Barrios is ready to take Garcia down.
“I bring the experience – I have more tools in my arsenal, and there’s more to my style,” Barrios said via BoxingScene. “There’s a couple things [Garcia] does very well that have brought him to this point, but with that being said, that’s also why he hasn’t been able to get over that hump.
