Three titles are up for grabs Saturday night in Las Vegas, headlined by a WBC world welterweight championship clash between titleholder Mario Barrios and fan-favorite Ryan Garcia.
Barrios (29–2–2, 18 KOs) looks to strengthen a title reign that began with back-to-back draws — the most deflating of which came against 46-year-old Manny Pacquiao at the MGM Grand last July. Garcia (24–2, 20 KOs) eyes his first world championship, needing to rebound after a 12-month suspension and an uninspired unanimous decision loss to Rolly Romero in Times Square last May.
Garcia enters as a -250 moneyline favorite on DraftKings Sportsbook, while Barrios sits as a +195 underdog.
Beforehand, Gary Antuanne Russell (18–1, 17 KOs) will defend his WBA super lightweight title against Andy Hiraoka (24–0, 19 KOs). Then, Richardson Hitchins (20–0, 8 KOs) puts his IBF super lightweight strap on the line against Oscar Duarte (30–2, 23 KOs).
DAZN’s pay-per-view coverage of the Main Card begins at 7:55 p.m. ET, with ring walks for the Main Event expected at approximately 11:53 p.m. ET.
