Ryan Garcia will attempt to capture his first world championship when he faces WBC welterweight titleholder Mario Barrios in Las Vegas.
The American returns after suffering a defeat to Rolly Romero in his comeback fight, which followed a turbulent period in his career. Garcia had previously missed weight for a planned title bout with Devin Haney, before his later victory was overturned to a no-contest after testing positive for the banned substance Ostarine.
He served a one-year suspension and has since worked his way back into contention. Now, Garcia finds himself with another opportunity to secure world honours against Barrios.
