San Antonio Texas’ WBC Welterweight World Champion, Mario “El Azteca” Barrios Defends his Title Against Abel Ramos on the Netflix and Most Valuable Promotions' Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson Mega Event, Friday, November 15, From the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX.

LAS VEGAS, NV (October 30, 2024) – WBC Welterweight World Champion Mario “El Azteca” Barrios (29-2, 18 KOs) from San Antonio, TX, hosted a media workout in Las Vegas ahead of his highly anticipated clash with Abel Ramos (28-6-2, 22 KOs) from Phoenix, AZ. The two Mexican warriors are set to face off for welterweight supremacy in a 12-round world title bout on the undercard of Most Valuable Promotions’ blockbuster event featuring Jake Paul vs. Mike Tyson and Serrano vs. Taylor 2.

The event takes place on Friday, November 15 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, and will be streamed live globally on Netflix, starting at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. Tickets for the live event start at $37 and are available on seatgeek.com.

Here is what Barrios had to say about his upcoming matchup with Ramos, his recent training camp, fighting on Netflix in his home state of Texas, and more.

"Defending my world title is a huge honor, and I know Abel Ramos is a tough opponent who always comes to fight. He’s experienced and dangerous, so I’m expecting a hard-fought battle. But I’m ready to show why I’m the champion and why this belt is staying with me."

"Training camp has been intense but great. We’ve been putting in a lot of hard work in Las Vegas, focusing on every detail to make sure I’m ready for anything Ramos brings. I feel strong, sharp, and more motivated than ever to put on a great performance."

"It’s incredible to be a part of this historic event with Netflix streaming the fights. Boxing is reaching a whole new audience, and being on this platform alongside legends like Mike Tyson and major names like Jake Paul and Amanda Serrano is a huge opportunity. I’m excited to showcase my skills to fans all around the world."

"Fighting in Texas is always special for me. I’m a proud San Antonio native, and every time I fight here, I feel that extra support and energy from the crowd. Texas has some of the best boxing fans in the world, and it’s an honor to be defending my title in front of them."

"Fans can expect me to leave it all in the ring. I’ve been training to make a statement, and I’m going to give everything I have to keep this belt. Whether you’re watching live in AT&T Stadium or streaming on Netflix, you’re going to see an exciting fight and a champion determined to come out on top."
