Russell Jr. vs. Vargas agreement

The featherweight champion of the World Boxing Council Gary Russell Jr. (31-1-0, 18 Ko`s), will defend his crown against the mandatory challenger of the division, the Mexican Rey Vargas (34-0- 0.22 Ko`s).
Gary comes from defeating Mongolia’s Tugstsogt Nyambayar in February last year, in a very good fight. For his part, Rey Vargas, former WBC super bantamweight champion, was named champion in recess due to a leg injury. Fully recovered, he was ratified as the mandatory challenger for the featherweight division.
Promoter Tom Brown, leader of TGB Promotions, will announce the date and place for this attractive bout shortly.
