Fabian Maidana: record, next fight and profile →



Brandon Figueroa dropped and stopped Jessie Magdaleno with a powerful body shot at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday, on the undercard of the Saul “Canelo” Alvarez-Jaime Munguia super middleweight title fight.

While most eyes this week will be locked on the activities around Saturday’s blockbuster main event between Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Jaime Munguia, Texan Mario Barrios is in the final hours of his own training camp, which will serve as the Alvarez-Munguia co-main. And Barrios is hoping to steal the show. Barrios, 28, who goes by the nickname “El Azteca”, is set to defend his Interim WBC welterweight title against Fabián “TNT” Maidana, hailing from Argentina, on Saturday, May 4th from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Fabian Maidana is preparing to step out of the shadow of his older brother when on Saturday he fights Mario Barrios.

As a boxing fan, you might know the name Maidana – even if you haven’t heard of Fabian Maidana. Fabian is the younger brother of two-division world titleholder Marcos Maidana – something of a boxing folk hero, best known for giving Floyd Mayweather Jr. hell and handing Adrien Broner his first loss of his career.

Mario Barrios, who will take on Fabian Maidana on May 4 in Las Vegas in the co-main event to the Saul “Canelo” Alvarez-Jaime Munguia headliner, is ready to do his part to return the 147-pound division to its recent glory.

Welterweight Fabian Maidana returned to action this past Friday night, stopping Carlos Daniel Aquino in the third round at Club Sarmiento in Resistencia, Argentina.

Unified Welterweight Champion Errol Spence, Jr. was forced to withdraw from his blockbuster FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View showdown with eight-division and former welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao on Saturday, August 21 from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas due to a retinal tear in his left eye.
