Mario Barrios Arrives In California To
Start Training Camp With Virgil Hunter
Undefeated WBA Super Lightweight Champion, Mario “El Azteca”
Barrios (26-0, 17 KOs), has arrived in Hayward, California,
to start training camp with coach Virgil Hunter. Barrios,
who resides in San Antonio, TX, recently defended his title
against Ryan Karl (18-3, 12 KOs) in October of 2020. Barrios
is awaiting a fight date from the PBC to make his 2021
debut.
“Leaving home early to start training camp with Virgil has
been the game changer in my career,” said Barrios, who has
stopped nine of his last ten opponents. “It’s a sacrifice
that I feel needs to be made as enter the second half of my
career. All the fights from here on out will be against top
level opposition, and there is no room for error. Everything
is on the line each and every time I step in the ring so I’m
doing everything in my power to stay on top.”
There are many big opportunities for Mario Barrios, who at
25-years old, is on the verge of super stardom.
“I know there are plenty of big names that for me to fight
that the fans want to see,” Barrios continued. “After
talking to my team, I’m excited about what lies ahead, and
the possible names that have been presented. 2021 will be
another monumental year in my career.”
