Inside Boxing | Ryan Garcia DOMINATES Mario Barrios to win first world title

from The Ariel Helwani Show · host Ariel Helwani

Inside Boxing is here, reacting to Ryan Garcia's massive win (Garcia is now a legit world champion) over Mario Barrios and how he was able to completely disarm Barrios (2:37). Plus, Garcia's father and head coach had some words for Chris Algeri and his "corny ass partner" for picking against his son (12:07). The duo dives into what could be next for Garcia, from a showdown with Shakur Stevenson to highly anticipated rematches with Devin Haney or Rolly Romero (18:21). On to the news of Richardson Hitchins pulling out of his title fight vs. Oscar Duarte with an undisclosed illness. Was this because of the IBF's strict rehydration clause (25:56)? Stevenson had a lot to say about a potential clash with Garcia, alluding to the fact he believed Garcia is on performance-enhancing drugs (35:54). The discussion moves onto the undercard that saw Gary Russell defeat Andy Hiraoka and Frank Martin and Nahir Albright fight to a draw (41:11). The guys turn their attention to arguably the most shocking story in boxing: Conor Benn signing with Zuffa Boxing and what it could mean for the new promotional outfit, as well as Matchroom's Eddie Hearn (48:57). And finally, it looks like Floyd Mayweather will officially come out of retirement to continue his professional career in 2026 at the age of 49 (1:01:58).
