‘I’d destroy him’… Amado Fernando Vargas opens up about potential rematch with Deen the Great in BKB

Amado Fernando Vargas is extremely confident that he’d do a number on Deen the Great if the pair were to face off in bare-knuckle boxing.

The son of the legendary Fernando Vargas returns to action tonight, when he battles it out with Callum Nulty at BKB 61, inside the Indigo at the O2 in London, UK.

Amado Fernando Vargas could rematch Deen the Great after BKB 61

On December 20, 2025, Amado Fernando Vargas produced a sparkling display to defeat Deen the Great at Misfits: Mania in Dubai, UAE.

During the contest, the Mexican-American showcased his talent, utilising his superior skill to land the classier shots.

The victory tasted all the sweeter due to the verbal bombs that the pair exchanged throughout the build-up to the contest.

However, despite giving their all in the ring, the fighters certainly didn’t settle their differences, with Vargas still carrying a dislike for his rival to this day.

And with the popular athlete thriving in BKB, the fans would love to see the warriors run it back inside the Trigon.

Unsurprisingly, Vargas is more than happy to give the combat sports community the grudge match it craves.

During the BKB 61 media day, he told Sporf: “I’d destroy him. Whether it’s bare-knuckle, boxing or even basketball, I’ll beat him in anything; it doesn’t matter. Deen is a disrespectful kid; I don’t like him at all.”
