Amado Vargas and Sean Garcia may have unfinished business, and the promoters are lining up.
Vargas, the son of two-time world champion Fernando Vargas, knocked out Garcia in the sixth round in the summer of 2024. That fight was on the undercard of Nate Diaz’s rematch win over Jorge Masvidal. Garcia, the brother of WBC welterweight champion Ryan Garcia, recently returned to the win column on the undercard of his brother’s win over Conor Benn.
The 26-year-old Vargas told Bloody Elbow that several promoters across multiple sports want the rematch. One of them is Eddie Hearn, whom he met while filming the House of Guerrero movie in California.
Me and Eddie Hearn got close on set. He wants me to fight Sean on one of his cards, but it’s the highest bidder as long as my team and my pops say it’s a good business deal.
BKB Bare Knuckle Boxing CEO David Tetreault is also interested. He told the outlet in August that a Vargas vs. Garcia rematch appealed to him even more than a second fight between Vargas and Deen The Great.
Amado Vargas Expects a Hungry Sean Garcia
Vargas spoke ahead of his November 14 fight with Callum Nulty. He expects Garcia to come in with something to prove.
I think Sean is going to come back hungry and he wants to knock me out. There’s nothing but love to the Garcias, Ryan and the whole family. You can’t get mad when you throw jabs at my family and we throw jabs back.
There’s no friends in boxing, you can get along but at the end of the day it’s the fight game and you can’t afford to be friends.
Vargas also made headlines last December when he became the only man to beat Deen The Great, doing so at Misfits Boxing’s Dubai show. He has since made a vicious knockout debut in bare-knuckle.
