Ryan Garcia returns to action on February 21 with a massive opportunity as he challenges Mario Barrios for the WBC welterweight championship at T Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. The fight headlines The Ring: High Stakes card and marks a defining moment for both fighters. Garcia steps in looking to rebound after his loss to Rolando Romero and prove himself at 147 pounds, while Barrios enters as the reigning champion following his draw against Manny Pacquiao. With championship stakes and career momentum on the line, the matchup carries significant pressure for both men.

Garcia’s speed and star power make him one of boxing’s most talked about names, but he faces a difficult challenge against a bigger and more experienced welterweight champion.
