Rey Vargas To Sign With Premier Boxing Champions

Rey Vargas is ready to resume his career—just under new management.

The long-reigning undefeated junior featherweight titlist is in advanced talks to sign a multi-fight agreement with Premier Boxing Champions (PBC), two sources with intimate knowledge of discussions have informed BoxingScene.com. A time frame for Vargas’ debut under the PBC umbrella has not yet been established although an announcement on the signing is expected in the very near future.

The Athletic boxing insider Mike Coppinger was the first to reveal the development through his verified social media account.

Vargas (34-0, 22KOs) is coming up on three full years as a 122-pound titlist, claiming the belt in a 12-round win over then-unbeaten Gavin McDonnell in February 2017 on the road in Hull, England. Five successful defenses have followed, all in the United States under a co-promotional deal with Golden Boy Promotions which began with Vargas’ 12-round win over Ronny Rios in August 2017.

The 29-year old from Otumba, Mexico has been extended the distance in all six career title fights, including a competitive but clear points win over Tomoki Kameda in their title consolidation clash last July. The bout was his second straight headliner on DAZN, with whom Golden Boy is in year two of a five-year output deal.

As long as the 5’10” boxer can still make the 122-pound limit, political alignment suggested a clearer path to unification. Also on the DAZN side of the street is unified titlist Daniel Roman (27-2-1, 10KOs), who next makes a dangerous mandatory title defense versus unbeaten Murodjon Akhmadaliev (7-0, 6KOs). However, a matchup between Vargas and Roman never really evolved beyond the rumor stage, nor would the right business scenario stand in the way of such a fight eventually taking place

In joining PBC, however, Vargas will have a slew of options from which to choose in and around his weight division. Also included are unbeaten talents Brandon Figueroa and Stephen ‘Cool Boy Steph’ Fulton, along with lineal 122-pound champion Guillermo Rigondeaux, unbeaten former bantamweight titlist Luis Nery and Promociones del Pueblo stablemates Julio Ceja and Hugo Ruiz among others.

Lol, every time a fighter goes to PBC for bigger fights and bigger money it makes Bud look like a bigger liar
 
Notice Bud didn’t aggressively start calling out Spence until after Spence’s crash, and I think that was to quiet the talks about a potential Crawford vs Porter fight, and it worked..

Porter and his team were given the green light to fight Bud and Bud is deflecting by calling out an injured Spence...

Floyd Mayweather Is The BWAA's Fighter Of The Decade

Floyd Mayweather was the most dominant fighter over the last decade, and that supremacy has been rewarded by the Boxing Writers Association of America as the first Joe Louis Fighter of the Decade recipient by going 10-0 (2 KOs) through 2010-2019.

Mayweather (50-0, 27 knockouts) beat out Canelo Alvarez and Manny Pacquiao for the honor, two fighters he defeated in the last 10 years. The list of nominees also included Andre Ward and Wladimir Klitschko.

In addition to Alvarez and Pacquiao, Mayweather defeated Shane Mosley, Victor Ortiz, Robert Guerrero, Miguel Cotto, Marcos Maidana (twice), Andre Berto and UFC star Conor McGregor, in a fight “Money” hardly trained for. That’s one current Hall of Famer (Mosley), and three future Hall of Famers (Pacquiao, Cotto and Alvarez).

“Thank you to the Boxing Writers Association of America for voting me Fighter of the Decade,” Mayweather said in a statement. “I am honored to be recognized by the media who covered my career throughout its’ many decades.

“Boxing has been a part of my life since I was two years old and I dedicated my life to it and gave it my all. I trained hard, showed up for every one of my fights and did my job successfully each and every time. To retire undefeated and achieve what I did in the sport is not only a gift to myself, but to the fans and most importantly, my team and family. I certainly didn’t do it alone and I appreciate anyone who played a part in it.

“Hard work and dedication, something I did for my entire career. I am grateful and humbled by this honor. Thank you so very much.”

Alvarez was Mayweather’s biggest threat in the voting.

In 2015, Mayweather beat Pacquiao by scores of 118-110 and 112-116 (2). In 2013, he outpointed BWAA 2019 Fighter of the Year Alvarez.

It’s why the BWAA has chosen Floyd Mayweather Jr., the only two-time BWAA Fighter of the Year in the 2010s (2013 and 2015), as the Joe Louis Fighter of the Decade.
