Where is fernando vargas

Unfortunately, me, my wife, my father-in-law and my sister-in-law, we all caught Covid. My kids wanted to go and train.

I was scared. So, we did another month of isolation and we became negative eventually. My kids are great young fighters themselves already. The narrative of father and son fighting combinations has become prevalent in recent years, especially in the United Kingdom, with the recent announcement that Ricky Hatton — a champion that Vargas can relate to — has introduced his son Campbell to the paid ranks, courtesy of Matchroom Boxing.

For Fernando, it is his namesake who will slip between the ropes, under the spotlight, for the first time without headgear and national vests. Videos released via social media have caused a sense of intrigue, as he moved from east to west, north to south, sparring beautifully. Emiliano and Amado may be further behind in terms of age, but they lack nothing in terms of dedication or determination.

The Vargas matriarch, Martha, was heard often in the background, reminding Fernando Sr of certain parts of his own career.

When it came to her sons, though, she was happy to speak to Boxing Social. His jab was fast and his punches were fast. He had great ring generalship and boxing ability.

Mosley had a great chin too. I was hitting Mosley with everything but the kitchen sink and he could take it. He was very intelligent. If you left yourself open for something, he was going to catch you. He knew how to use the ring. I think the wraps helped him. That made my career shorter. I was trying to box and punch, too, but he was the strongest. But I know I fought with all my heart. I felt like I was getting hit by a bat.

It was like an explosion in my head. You can see by my expression in the first knockdown. He could do everything. He could box, he could punch, he could go forward and he knew what he was doing. I beat five world champions and I only lost to greats and world champions. I think Oscar was better than anyone else I fought. Check your inbox or spam folder to confirm your subscription.

De La Hoya has recently hinted at a comeback, perhaps still longing for the hero worship he received while warring with rivals such as Vargas.

Fernando admits he is tempted too by another encounter with Oscar, albeit an exhibition-style bout like Mike Tyson's impending fight with Roy Jones Jnr. Vargas, of course, still refuses to be counted out. But at the moment those ferocious fists are too busy offering calm instruction to his fighting sons.
