I\u2019m right there knocking on that door.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vargas enters the fight after a stoppage victory over Agustin Quintana in February. While that performance generated debate among some fans, Emiliano views the rounds he logged as valuable experience as he continues developing his game.<\/p>\n<p>The unbeaten contender says he has expanded his training team and worked extensively on movement, angles, and pressure fighting in recent camps. He also recently spent time around David Benavidez\u2019s camp, drawing inspiration from the former world champion\u2019s work ethic and aggressive style.<\/p>\n<p>If Emiliano defeats Mills on Saturday, attention will quickly shift to who comes next. Based on his comments, Kambosos is near the top of the list.<\/p>\n<p>Kambosos, a former unified lightweight champion, would represent the most recognizable name of Vargas\u2019 career and potentially move him one step closer to the title eliminator he says he wants next.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Youtube video\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" nopin=\"nopin\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1782205333_106_hqdefault.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Robert Segal is a boxing journalist at Boxing News 24 with more than a decade of experience covering fight news, previews, and analysis.
