Barrios vs Garcia: Fight time, undercard, prediction, odds and more

The WBC world title is on the line in the division, with Barrios fighting for the first time since his majority draw with the returning Manny Pacquiao in July last year.

The draw meant that Barrios retained the belt, but he comes under fire against a rejuvenated Garcia, who is looking for redemption after a defeat by Rolly Romero in his first fight since his year-long suspension.

The Californian tested positive for Ostarine, a performance-enhancing drug, ahead of his shock victory over Devin Haney back in April 2024, with Garcia’s win converted into a no-contest after his positive test.

Now, he goes head to head with Barrios, after a rematch with Pacquiao did not materialise for ‘El Azteca’, who has had back to back draws after his tie with Pacquiao and before that against Abel Ramos.

He is looking for his first win since June 2024 in his third welterweight title defence, but ‘King Ry’ is hungry to prove himself once more on the world stage, looking to become a champion for the first time in his career.

Garcia’s most recent victory was in December 2023, knocking out Oscar Duarte, discounting his bout with Haney.

The main event is set to begin at 5am GMT, which is 9pm local time. The undercard is set to get underway from 1am GMT, which is 5pm local time.
