A pair of 140-pound world title fights top the undercard of Mario Barrios vs. Ryan Garcia on February 21.

Richardson Hitchins will defend his IBF title against Oscar Duarte in the co-feature, while the long-awaited bout between WBA champion Gary Antuanne Russell and mandatory challenger Andy Hiraoka is also on the card. Frank Martin vs. Nahir Albright and Bektemir Melikuziev vs. Sena Agbeko round out the undercard.

Barrios (29-2-2, 18 KOs) and Garcia (24-2, 20 KOs) will meet in the main event of The Ring: High Stakes for Barrios’ WBC welterweight title at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on DAZN PPV.

Hitchins (20-0, 8 KOs) is coming off a dominating eighth-round stoppage of former unified lightweight champion George Kambosos in his first title defense on June 14 in New York. The Brooklyn, New York, native won the title via a split decision victory over Liam Paro in 2024.

Duarte (30-2-1, 23 KOs) will be getting his first shot at a world title against Hitchins. The rugged, come-forward pressure fighter from Mexico, has won four straight fights since an eighth-round knockout loss to Garcia in 2023. Duarte enters the clash against Hitchins on the heels of a majority decision victory over Kenneth Sims Jr.

Russell (18-1, 17 KOs) and Hiraoka (24-0, 19 KOs) were scheduled to fight on the undercard of Jake Paul vs. Gervonta Davis on Nov. 14 in Miami before Davis’ legal troubles caused the whole card to be postponed. Russell, a dynamic southpaw from Capitol Heights, Maryland, won the title in his last fight with a thorough beating of Jose Valenzuela on March 1.

Hiraoka of Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan, who is a towering 5-foot-11½, will be fighting for the first time in 17 months when he steps into the ring against Russell. The Japanese southpaw is coming off a ninth-round stoppage of Ismael Barroso to become the mandatory challenger for the WBA title.

Martin (19-1, 13 KOs) and Albright (17-2, 7 KOs) enter their match coming off impressive wins. Martin delivered a knockout of the year contender with his devastating fourth-round stoppage of Rances Barthelemy on Dec. 6. Albright upset the previously unbeaten Kelvin Davis with a majority decision win on June 7.

Melikuziev (16-1, 10 KOs) enters the clash versus Agbeko after a dramatic unanimous decision over Darius Fulghum. The southpaw from Uzbekistan dropped Fulghum (14-1-1, 12 KOs) in the final round to win 114-112 on all three scorecards.

Agbeko (29-4, 23 KOs), of Accra, Ghana, last fought in 2024, defeating Pierre Williams by first-round knockout. In the two fights preceding, he suffered second-round stoppage losses to David Morrell and Osleys Iglesias.
