WBC provide update on their welterweight status: Mario Barrios
The WBC Board of Governors has voted in favour of the ruling to elevate interim champion Mario Barrios to World champion after the WBC granted Terence Crawford the Champion in recess status and will compete in a final elimination bout in the super welterweight division to then decide in which category he will continue.
Mario Barrios, the hero of San Antonio, conquered the WBC interim championship on September 30th, 2023, as he defeated Yordenis Ugas in a sensational fight.
In his most recent bout, he defeated Fabian Maidana by decision at Las Vegas, Nevada.
