Fernando Vargas Jr and Amado Vargas sign with BKB Bare Knuckle

While bare knuckle boxing has been seen as something of a retirement home for aging fighters prior to now, this signing is a really different style of deal. Each of their 20s, the Vargas brothers are still very much of their primes and coming directly off massive fights.

Neither has booked a fight date yet, but an announcement is imminent. David Tetreault, CEO of BKB Bare Knuckle, said in a press release today: “Signing each Fernando Jr. and Amado is a significant addition to our roster.

“These are two athletes of their physical prime, hungry for fulfillment – they usually see BKB as the proper opportunity to realize this. BKB goes mainstream and the Vargas brothers will play an enormous part in driving us there.”

“BKB gives us the platform to follow in our dad’s footsteps, face the massive names making the jump, and grow to be world-renowned champions together because the Vargas Dynasty.”
