Vargas Joval Set.

Fernando Vargas’s much anticipated return to the ring will happen on the 26th of March at the American Bank Center in Corpus Christi, Texas, USA. Vargas has been out of action due to injury but will not waste time before challenging solid opposition as his opponent has been named as Dutch hardman Raymond Joval. The fight will take place in the middleweight division, indicating Vargas’s intent to campaign at that weight among the many big names that have gathered there. Joval is thirty-six years old, is a former IBO and WBU middleweight champion and should provide a stern test for Vargas who has not fought at the 160-pound limit before. A win for Vargas would put him in the running for fights with the middleweight notables such as Bernard Hopkins, Jermain Taylor, Felix Trinidad, Felix Sturm and Ronald Wright.
