Khabib Allakhverdiev v Jessie Vargas

The odd pairing of undefeated WBA junior welterweight belt holder Jessie Vargas and former pound-for-pound star Roy Jones Jr. began out of simple necessity when Vargas’ trainer Ismael Salas was lured to the UK for an extended gig.

Rather than make the trip overseas in order to train for his November 22 opponent, Antonio DeMarco, Vargas decided to stay at home and retain the services of Jones.

The 45-year-old Jones, aside from being employed as a color commentator for HBO Boxing, is still an active fighter with a bout scheduled for this Friday against Hany Atiyo in Krasnodar, Russia.
