Keith Thurman vs. Mario Barrios fight date, time, PPV price, odds & location for 2022 boxing match



Boxing’s welterweight division features some of the most elite fighters in the sport. Two former champions will look to bring himself back to the top of it, as Keith Thurman faces off against Mario Barrios on February 5. 

A former WBA welterweight champion, Thurman made his pro debut in 2007. He won the interim title against Diego Chaves in 2013 and defended it three times. Promoted to regular champion in 2015, he defended that version of the belt five times against fighters like Robert Guerrero, Luis Collazo, Shawn Porter, Danny Garcia, and Josesito Lopez. Against Garcia, Thurman won the WBC welterweight title. 

Multiple injuries forced Thurman to miss time over the last few years. After the Lopez fight in January 2019, he fought Manny Pacquiao in July of that year. Thurman lost the WBA title to Pacquiao via split decision. He went through another surgery following that fight but is now healthy and ready to fight for titles again. 

Barrios made his pro debut in 2013. A WBA super-lightweight champion, Barrios successfully defended the title once. His last fight was a TKO loss at the hands of Gervonta Davis back in June 2021, losing the title in the process.
