Mario Barrios, a standout in the boxing world known for his fierce fighting style and deep connection to his Mexican roots, began his boxing journey at a young age in San Antonio, Texas. His career highlights include winning the WBA World Super Lightweight title in 2019 and recently defending his WBC Welterweight title with a dominant performance against Fabian Andres Maidana. Barrios is excited to fight on this massive stage, showcasing his heritage and skill.
Abel Ramos, a determined welterweight from Casa Grande, Arizona, has built a reputation for his power and resilience. With a notable career that includes victories over Ivan Baranchyk and Regis Prograis, Ramos is eager to seize his second world title opportunity after a close loss to Yordenis Ugas in 2020. His dramatic last-second knockout against Bryant Perrella in 2020 highlights his fighting spirit.

In addition to the welterweight championship bout, the event will feature a highly anticipated rematch between Katie Taylor (23-1, 6 KOs) and Amanda Serrano (47-2-1, 31 KOs), marking the first time two women headlined at Madison Square Garden in 2022. Taylor and Serrano will clash in a 10-round bout. Also, MVP’s first international signee, Neeraj Goyat (18-4-2, 8 KOs) from India, will make his debut against Brazilian entertainer Whindersson Nunes (2-2-1, 1 KO) in a 6-round super middleweight bout.
