Samuel Andrés Vargas Ariza (born 12 April 1989) is a Canadian-Colombian professional boxer.
Professional career
[edit | edit source]Vargas turned professional in 2010 at the age of 20, scoring a technical knockout (TKO) victory against Todd Furler in Montreal, Quebec.[1]
He won the NCC Welterweight championship by defeating Manolis Plaitis in 2012.[2]
In 2013 he received NABA Canada super welterweight title after a TKO victory against Julius Bunda in Toronto, Ontario[3]
On 13 October 2016, it was announced that Vargas would face off against WBC welterweight champion Danny García at the Liacouras Center on 12 November. It was said that the fight would be a non-title ten-round fight.[4][5] Vargas lost via TKO in the seventh round.
On 25 July 2020, Vargas was the first boxer to go more than six rounds with undefeated prospect Vergil Ortiz Jr, losing by TKO in the seventh round.[6]
Vargas' next fight would be against undefeated Conor Benn in the Copper Box Arena in London on 10 April 2021. The fight lasted just 80 seconds, as Benn landed two right-left combinations which rocked Vargas, followed by a barrage of punches and a hard uppercut on the ropes that saw the bout stopped, resulting in Vargas' seventh professional loss.[7] On March 13, 2022, Vargas announced his retirement from boxing.[8]
