Gervonta Davis moved up to 140 pounds to hand Mario Barrios the first loss of his career via an 11th-round technical knockout on Saturday night in Atlanta, securing the WBA secondary super lightweight belt to become a three-division champion.
Davis, 26, already holds the WBA lightweight and super featherweight titles and is coming off a knockout victory over former four-division champion Leo Santa Cruz last October. Barrios, who held 4.5-inch height and 3.5-inch reach advantages over Davis, was 26-0 heading into Saturday night's fight.
With the victory, Davis, a Baltimore native, improved his career record to 25-0.
