PhilBoxing.com




ORLANDO, FL (December 11, 2024) – Boxlab Promotions’ bantamweight contender Antonio Vargas (18-1, 10 KOs), has climbed to the pinnacle of the WBA rankings, securing the #1 spot after an impressive nine-fight winning streak. This Friday, December 13, Vargas will take on the undefeated WBA #9-ranked contender Winston "El Fantasma" Guerrero (22-0, 13 KOs) for the vacant WBA interim bantamweight world title at the Caribe Royale Resort in Orlando, FL. The highly anticipated bout will be televised live on DAZN as part of MVP’s Most Valuable Prospects 10 series.

Vargas has been on a mission to solidify his place among the bantamweight elite, and this fight represents the culmination of years of dedication and perseverance.

“This streak is a testament to the hard work and sacrifices I’ve made in and out of the ring,” said Vargas. “Each fight has been a stepping stone, and I’ve learned something new every time I’ve entered the ring. It’s been an incredible journey to get here. This is the opportunity I’ve been working toward my entire career. Fighting for the WBA interim title is a dream come true, and I’m ready to seize this moment. Guerrero is a tough opponent, but I’ve prepared for this my whole life.”

“Antonio has worked incredibly hard to get to this point, and his commitment has been nothing short of inspiring,” said Boxlab Promotions President Amaury Piedra. “This fight against Guerrero is going to be one fans won’t want to miss. It’s a clash between two determined fighters, and I have no doubt Antonio will rise to the occasion and show why he’s the WBA’s top contender.”

This Friday, Antonio Vargas aims to make a statement as he fights for the WBA interim bantamweight world title, bringing him one step closer to realizing his ultimate dream of becoming a world champion.

“There were moments where the road felt uncertain, but I never lost faith in myself or my team,” concluded Vargas, from Kissimmee, FL. “Staying focused on my goals and trusting the process kept me moving forward. My faith has been a guiding light through it all. Since I was a kid, I’ve dreamed of becoming a world champion. Now, I’m just one fight away from that reality. It’s an emotional and exciting time, but I’m staying grounded and focused on the task at hand.”
