Fernando Vargas Jr. and Amado Vargas, sons of two-time light middleweight champion Fernando \u201cEl Feroz\u201d Vargas, are a combined 30-1 in professional boxing with 21 knockouts.<\/p>\n
Despite their ability to compete for most of the major boxing promoters, the Vargas brothers have opted to sign with BKB Bare Knuckle Boxing. While the promotion has yet to reveal a date (or opponent) for their respective debuts, it didn\u2019t take long for the \u201cDynasty\u201d duo to make their mark inside the Trigon.<\/p>\n

At the expense of \u201cUntameable\u201d Jon Barnard.<\/p>\n
The newly-crowned lightweight champion was in the middle of his post-fight celebration after upsetting Jared \u201cKid Gatti\u201d Grant as part of the Vice TV main card lineup last weekend from inside the sold-out Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino in Niagara Falls, New York.<\/p>\n
First came Barnard\u2019s second-round knockout:<\/p>\n
Immediately afterward super featherweight champion, Alberto Blas, stormed the ring.<\/p>\n
As if things weren\u2019t chaotic enough, Amado Vargas jumped into the fray:<\/p>\n
Sounds like Barnard has multiple targets on his back.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy brothers and I are in our prime and we see BKB as the future of combat sports,\u201d Fernando Jr. said. \u201cI\u2019m bringing the same ferocious finishing power that earned me the nickname \u2018El Feroz\u2019 \u2014 the kind of knockout hunger that can make me a world champion here just like my father. This is our chance to step up, fight the legends crossing over, and build our own legacy as bare knuckle icons.\u201d<\/p>\n

BKB continues to lure decorated gloved boxers to the world of bare knuckle, recently signing Olympic gold medalist and former multi-weight champion Yuriorkis Gamboa<\/a>. In addition, BKB just landed former world champions Lee Selby and Victor Ortiz<\/a>, who join Paulie Malignaggi, Alfredo Angulo, Robert Duran Jr., and other stars from the \u201csweet science.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re in our prime and ready to make our mark as pioneers in bare knuckle,\u201d Amado added. \u201cWhat I bring is nonstop pressure, sharp combinations, and body work that breaks opponents down. BKB gives us the platform to follow in our dad\u2019s footsteps, face the big names making the jump, and become world-renowned champions together as the Vargas Dynasty.\u201d<\/p>\n
