Said the fast-rising star, Vargas Jr. about the upcoming
fight, “I feel blessed for this opportunity to be fighting
on pay-per-view and I’m not taking it lightly. I’ve had a
hard training camp and I’m excited to demonstrate my skills
to the public.”
Vargas Jr. is trained by his father, three-time junior
middleweight world champion, Fernando ‘Feroz’ Vargas Sr.
“I’m excited, my boys got it. They’re my seeds so they have
what it takes. I’m proud of Junior, he has a last name that
carries history. He has the goods and I can’t wait to see
him show his talent November 26th. We’re more than ready.”
This past Saturday night, Vargas Jr's younger brother,
18-year-old Emiliano ‘El General’ Vargas, again impressed
the boxing world with his second knockout victory, fighting
at The Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas and live on ESPN+.
The third boxing son of Vargas Sr., undefeated featherweight
prospect Amado ‘El Malvado’ Vargas, (4-0, 2 KOs), will also
be fighting on the off-TV undercard at ‘Battle of the Best’,
with further details to be announced shortly.
The heavy-handed southpaw Vargas Jr. has quickly impressed
boxing fans since hitting the paid ranks two years ago,
scoring knockout victories in each of his six professional
bouts, four of which have come in the first two rounds. In
his last start on May 14, 2022, he stunned the huge crowd at
the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, CA with a devastating first
round knockout of Terrance Jarmon.
The upset minded Martinez returns to battle after a shutout
four-round decision victory over Rafael Herrera Amezcua on
May 28, 2022. Prior to that he traveled to Madison Square
Garden on October 30, 2021, losing a very hotly contested
majority decision to undefeated prospect Pablo Valdez.
