Comments Thread For: Rey Vargas Moves Up To Featherweight, Named WBC Mandatory Challenger To Gary Russell Jr.

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The next fight in the career of long-reigning featherweight titlist Gary Russell Jr. could come against the division's latest entrant. Rey Vargas has been named as the mandatory challenger to the World Boxing Council (WBC) featherweight title, officially severing ties with the junior featherweight division where he previously held the sanctioning body's belt since 2017. With the move came Vargas' request to be inserted as the number-one contender to Russell's title, with the WBC confirming to BoxingScene.com that such a fight has been ordered along with a free negotiation period.

Vargas should get a tune up fight in, its not like Gary's going anywhere

Vargas isn't your regular pressure fighter. Gary has that style figured out. Vargas has wheels.

This is a good fight for Russell. He should have no problems beating vargas

Pretty good fight for both guys

Vargas don’t have much pop at 122, doubt it gets better at featherweight , otherwise it would be a hard fight for Gary

Gary better start gettin ready.. this guy is no joke! I have a feeling Gary prefers to risk his belt while maximizing the $ and will find a way to get a bigger name to fight instead.
