IBF featherweight championship

On 15 July 2017, Barros faced Lee Selby for the IBF featherweight *le. Selby started the fight off well, and looked more lively than Barros, moving well and trying to land left hooks. In the sixth, Barros showed resilience as Selby did not look as good as in the early rounds. But Selby got back on his toes in the eighth, boxing well and keeping his advantage on the scorecards. Selby managed to drop Barros in the final round to cement a unanimous decision on the scorecards.

WBC featherweight championship

In his next fight, Barros again challenged for a world *le, this time against WBC super featherweight champion Miguel Berchelt. Berchelt started off strong and managed to drop Barros in the second round with a big left hook. Barros managed to get up and continued fighting, until he got dropped again in the third round, when his corner decided to stop the contest.

In his next fight, Barros faced an experienced veteran in Alfredo Santiago. Barros got dominated by his opponent, losing the fight by unanimous decision.
