“In the event you’re going to become involved with Zuffa, you recognize what you’re getting yourself into,” Vargas said to Fight Hub TV. “You would like to play at that playground, you recognize the foundations of that playground.”
Zuffa Boxing has change into one among the game’s biggest talking points in recent weeks. WBO president Gustavo Olivieri recently stated that Zuffa is currently ineligible to take part in purse bids, while questions remain about how fighters under the promotion will pursue traditional world titles if the corporate moves forward with its own system.
Emiliano believes the situation is simple for any boxer considering signing with the promotion.
“You’ll be able to’t complain when you already signed on the dotted line,” Emiliano said. “I believe if you must fight for belts, don’t sign with Zuffa.”
Despite his comments, Emiliano made it clear that he just isn’t criticizing the promotion itself and understands that Zuffa is attempting to bring a unique approach to the business.
“I believe they’re doing a variety of various things. They’re coming in to shake up the sport,” Vargas said. “So, I don’t got anything bad to say about Zuffa, but in case you do sign, then you recognize what you’re getting yourself into.”
Emiliano also expressed support for Turki Alalshikh, who recently revealed he has been coping with health issues while continuing to oversee major boxing events.
“My heart goes out to him,” Vargas said. “He’s been a game changer for the sport of boxing, and hopefully I’ll be praying for him. Hopefully they resolve something, and hopefully they stay in boxing as well.”
The unbeaten Vargas returns to motion against Mills on Saturday as he continues his climb through the junior welterweight division.
