Buoyed by grueling preparation, double division champion Rey Vargas flew to the United States to face O’Shaquie Foster this Saturday, against whom he will fight for the vacant World Boxing Council super-featherweight title.
“Excited (for the mariachis) I do not always have the chance to say goodbye like that and this is one more motivation. We are going for something big in boxing and in particular the challenges that I like,” said the boxer from Otumba.
Vargas was greeted by fans who gathered at the airport to see him off and wish him well in his fight this Saturday, February 11 at the Alamodome in San Antonio.
“We have been making history quietly but with a solid career and we want to consolidate ourselves with this fight and with a new championship. So we are psyched up. It is not a flan, it is not just any rival, but victories taste better that way that you are not fighting with just anyone, that it is a level rival and that it is possible to pass it.
To the fans who follow us and who support us from the bottom of their hearts, we are grateful, this fight is for my people, for Mexico”, he declared.
A foundation for Vargas is his family: “By family is my first engine, they are behind the scenes, they know the good and the bad, the complications that one goes through, they have always been in my corner and it is paramount and motivational that they accompany me” .
