‘This is My Shining Moment’ – Mario Barrios is Looking to Make a Statement in His Next Fight Against Gervonta Davis
On June 26, Gervonta Davis will make his first super-lightweight showing. He will lock horns with the fellow undefeated boxer Mario Barrios. Barrios holds the WBA regular super-lightweight title, and he will put the same to the test against the resilient ‘Tank’.
‘El Azteca’ is supremely confident going into this fight and claiming a win. Recently talking to Boxing Scene, he said, “Fighting on Showtime PPV is a dream come true and an opportunity that I’m going to take full advantage of.
“Gervonta Davis is a pound-for-pound champion, and it’s going to be an honor sharing the ring with him. This fight is my shining moment and the pinnacle of the boxing world, on the biggest stage possible. Boxing fans around the globe will be watching this fight and I’m coming to shock the world. To all my Mexican fans, I’m going to bring this historic victory home for La Raza.”
Barrios is one sublime talent in the 140-pound roster. Until now, he’s fought some extravaganza contenders but facing someone as rugged as ‘Tank’ will demand much more than his usual skill sets.
