Nov 2, 2019; Las Vegas, NV, USA; Ryan Garcia (blue trunks) celebrates after knocking out Romero Duno (not pictured) in their WBC silver and NABO lightweight title bout at MGM Grand Garden Arena. Garcia won via first round TKO. Mandatory Credit: Joe Camporeale-Imagn Images Ryan Garcia has announced that he is signed to fight WBC welterweight champion Mario Barrios on Feb. 21.
Garcia (24-2, 20 KOs), who held the WBC interim lightweight title in 2021, has never won a fight at welterweight.
The 27-year-old Garcia lost a 12-round unanimous decision to welterweight Rolando Romero on May 2 in New York.
That result followed a no contest against Devin Haney in April 2024, when Garcia failed a drug test after winning the fight.
Barrios (29-2-2, 18 KOs) is coming off back-to-back draws against Manny Pacquiao in July 2025 and Abel Ramos in November 2024.
Garcia did not announce a location or other details for the fight with Barrios.
