The 30-year-old Barrios won the vacant WBC interim welterweight title in September 2023 with a unanimous decision over Yordenis Ugás. He retained the belt in May 2024 with a decision victory over Fabián Maidana. The WBC elevated Barrios to full championship status in June 2024. In his most recent outing, which came in November, Barrios fought Abel Ramos to a split draw to retain the belt.
'If the roles were reversed, Pacquiao wouldn't try to take it easy on me,' Barrios told The Ring. 'He's not going to feel sorry for me in there. It's just the reality of the sport. I am ready to defend my title by any means necessary.
'It's kill or be killed in there. I have to go in there and make sure my hand is raised by any means necessary, whether it's by knockout or by decision. He has age. I have to be ready for whatever he brings.'
'He's such a likable dude,' Barrios said of his opponent. 'It's hard to be like, 'Man, I'm about to square up with him for my title.' But I am going in there with bad intentions. I am trying to get him out of there.'
Barrios (29-2-1, 18 KOs) is the No. 3 ranked 147-pounder according to ESPN.

ESPN reported on Pacquiao coming out of retirement in early May. The former eight-division boxing champion confirmed his return on Instagram, writing, 'On July 19, I return to the ring to face WBC Welterweight Champion Mario Barrios at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Let's make history! #TeamPacquiao 🇵🇭'
The 46-year-old Pacquiao last fought in August 2021 when he dropped a unanimous decision to Yordenis Ugas for the WBA welterweight championship. Not long after that setback, Pacquiao announced his retirement.
"Even me, I'm amazed at what I have done," Pacquiao said in a video he posted on social media. "The only boxer to hold world titles in four different decades and became the oldest boxer to win a world welterweight title, an amazing accomplishment."
"It is difficult for me to accept that my time as a boxer is over," he added. "Today, I am announcing my retirement. I never thought that this day would come. As I hang up my boxing gloves, I would like to thank the whole world, especially the Filipino people, for supporting Manny Pacquiao."
Pacquiao (62-8-2, 39 KOs) was the No. 6 ranked welterweight, according to ESPN, when he retired. He is currently unranked.
"Goodbye, boxing. Thank you for changing my life," Pacquiao added. "You gave me the chance to find a way out of poverty. Because of you, I was able to inspire people all over the world. Because of you, I have been given the courage to change more life.
"I will never forget what I have done and accomplished in my life. I can't imagine that I have just heard the final bell."

Real Madrid star scoops Club World Cup Golden Boot award
Real Madrid youngster Gonzalo García has secured for himself a prestigious individual piece of silverware. This comes owing to his exploits at this summer's Club World Cup. The newly-formatted CWC was of course brought to a close on Sunday evening, as Chelsea beat out Paris Saint-Germain to lift the title. Advertisement The aforementioned Real Madrid managed to battle their way to the tournament's semi-finals, but were sent packing in comprehensive fashion by PSG. Youngster Gonzalo, meanwhile, enjoyed something of a breakout summer, on his way to four goals in six appearances in the USA. And as alluded to above, such exploits have proven enough to see the Spanish frontman crowned Club World Cup top scorer. Whilst four players (Serhou Guirassy, Marcos Leonardo, Ángel Di María) finished the competition with four goals to their name, Gonzalo also added an assist, enough to see him take home the Golden Boot award.

What is the NFL's best division in 2025?
A few years ago, the NFC East had three teams in the playoffs. Last season, the division had both teams in the NFC championship game. The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Washington Commanders to win the NFC championship and would go on to beat the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl. All four divisional teams have made the playoffs at least once in the last three years. The NFC East must be the best division, or, at the very least, one of the top two divisions in the NFL. Right? Not, according to Eric Edholm of who ranked all eight divisions, with the NFC East coming in at No. 4. The Super Bowl champion Eagles will try to defend their title with the vast majority of last year's offense back in place and enough defensive reinforcements to match the unit's 2024 success. Their biggest threat could come from within the division, with the rising Commanders giving the East arguably the best 1-2 punch of any division. Last year's Eagles were only truly outplayed one time all season -- a 33-16 defeat at Tampa Bay in Week 4 -- and they have enough talent to replace their free-agent losses on defenses. After a few early stumbles last September, the defense emerged as an elite unit -- and a repeat wouldn't be shocking. Here's what Edholm said about the rest of the division. The Commanders took the league by storm, with Jayden Daniels stealing the key to the city in a brilliant rookie season. Daniels is a special talent, and Washington added two big offensive pieces (LT Laremy Tunsil and WR Deebo Samuel), but concerns remain on defense. The Cowboys are a tricky team to handicap with Brian Schottenheimer taking over. Dallas' new head man needs to revitalize the run game and get the best from Dak Prescott. But the defense also looms as an area of worry after last season's troubles stopping the run. The Giants have added more talent to a solid defense and completely refreshed the QB room, offering hope for better results. But a daunting schedule and major pressure on head coach Brian Daboll won't make it the easiest turnaround this season without major improvement on both sides of the ball. New York remains a bottom-eight team until it proves otherwise. Opinions are mixed about which team will finish second in the division. Some believe the Cowboys will give the Eagles a fight with quarterback Dak Prescott back and healthy. However, even more believe that Washington is here to stay. Jayden Daniels is already the best quarterback in the division, and that always gives you a chance. Advertisement The 2025 season is now or never for New York GM Joe Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll. The Giants brought in a pair of veteran quarterbacks, Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston, and drafted one in the first round, Jaxson Dart. Here's Edholm's full rankings: 1. NFC North 2. AFC North 3. AFC West 4. NFC East 5. NFC West 6. AFC East 7. NFC South 8. AFC South Is the NFC North really better than the AFC West? The Chiefs, Chargers, and Broncos are all playoff teams, and the Raiders should be much better immediately under Pete Carroll. While the NFC North also had three playoff teams, questions remain about the top two — the Lions and Vikings — and whether they can repeat their success. Detroit lost both coordinators and the Vikings are counting on quarterback J.J. McCaffrey to replace Sam Darnold.

A mix of youth and chemistry has Red Sox rolling into All-Star break on 10-game winning streak
BOSTON — Many of the Boston Red Sox players started wearing T-shirts during batting practice and in the clubhouse the past week with a quote from teammate Romy Gonzalez written across the front. It says: 'Tremendously locked in.' They certainly look that way heading into the All-Star break. On Sunday, Ceddanne Rafaela hit a two-run homer and the Red Sox (53-45) posted their 10th straight victory with a 4-1, series-sweeping win over the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park.
