Fernando Vargas Jr. tasted defeat for the first time

Back in September, Vargas Jr. was undefeated and was widely considered a fast-rising prospect. However, he was matched against Irish star Calum Walsh on the undercard of the highly publicized Canelo Alvarez vs. Terence Crawford fight in September. 

Despite putting on a great fight, which shattered the illusion that Walsh is untouchable, Vargas Jr. suffered his first career loss via unanimous decision. His current professional record stands at 17-1, with no public information about his next trip to the squared circle.

Meanwhile, his brother, Amado, last fought back in April 2025, where he defeated Angel Luna via third-round knockout. Amado currently remains undefeated and doesn’t appear to have any plans for a return to action in 2026 yet. 

That said, the altercation between the Vargas brothers appears to have been the result of a brief, heated exchange. However, the possibility of a deeper, long-standing issue cannot be ruled out. As of now, the true cause of the confrontation remains unclear. What do you think really led to the incident?
