Berchelt vs Vargas rematch is on May 11 officially

Andrew Karlov March 31, 2019, 7:11 p.m.

The rematch of WBC champion Miguel Berchelt (35-1, 30 KOs) against Francisco Vargas (25-1-2, 18 KOs) was officially confirmed for May 11 as part of the next Top Rank tournament in Tucson. The fight will be broadcast on ESPN.

Initially, the rematch of these boxers was to take place at the end of March, but Berchelt suffered an injury of his right hand during preparation. The first confrontation of two Mexicans took place in January 2017. Berchelt knocked out his compatriot in the eleventh round in a very spectacular battle.

The 27-year-old owner of the World Boxing Council belt last boxed in November. Vargas has not fought since last April, when he stopped Rod Salka.

At the same evening, Isaac Dogboe and Emanuel Navarrete will also hold a rematch. The WBO super bantamweight title will be at stake.
