Amado Vargas is coming back to the same venue where he scored his first bare knuckle knockout next month.
Undefeated boxing prospect Vargas made the switch to the BKB Bare Knuckle trigon earlier this year, and scored a viral first round stoppage in his debut. He was due back out last weekend in Biloxi, but his opponent cancelled midway through fight week and a replacement couldn’t be found.

Now, he has been added to the bill for Lee Selby’s headliner on November 14 at the Indigo Theatre at The O2 Arena in London. He will take on former lightweight Hybrid Champion Callum Nulty who has experience in boxing and MMA.
Earlier this year, the Vargas brothers Fernando Jr and Amado made headlines when they decided to make the switch from traditional boxing to bare knuckle.
The former had just co-headlined one of the biggest fights in history in Canelo Alvarez vs Terence Crawford against Callum Walsh. A few weeks later, his younger brother scored his most high-profile win yet when he outpointed Deen The Great in Dubai.

As a result, it was something of a shock when the duo, whose youngest brother Emiliano is one of the top super-lightweight contenders in the world, made the crossover. They both were successful in their debuts, landing knockout wins.
Amado Vargas is now set to return at the same venue where he scored his first victory; the Indigo at The O2 in London. He will face Callum Nulty on a card headlined by Lee Selby vs Ollie Sentance that also features a bridgerweight title fight between Marko Martinjak and Matty Askin.
