Accompanied his family and friends, Rey Vargas arrived at Mexico City International Airport to board the plane taking him to face Briton Gavin McDonnell in an undefeated clash for the 122-pound WBC World Boxing Council title.
The Mexican boxer made it crystal clear, that the green and gold belt is his constant focus, and now it`s within reach. After a gruelling training camp, which has lasted two full months at the Otomi Ceremonial Center high altitude camp, Rey travels to “Blighty” for the toughest test of his career, in the best shape of his life.
Although it`s at Hull`s Ice Ring, and not the even more frigid “On Ilkley Moor Bar Tat,” Rey stresses that nought…not even the cold weather nor the home town advantage for McDonnell, will stand in his way, of returning home to Mexico with the title.
After saying tat ta to his Dad and first coach, Carlos Vargas, from Otumba, State of Mexico, accompanied by Hall of Fame trainer, Ignacio Beristain, who’s fully satisfied with the meticulous work of his pupil.
What a fabled tale and a bonus, because Jairo “Doberman” Lopez is with Rey. Jairo is part of the card, as he`s contesting the WBC Lightweight Silver belt against British Luke Campbell.
