Jessie Vargas Interested in Facing Kell Brook Next

 By Ryan Burton

WBA "regular" super lightweight champion Jessie Vargas (26-0) will be an interested observer of Saturday night's showdown between IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook and Jo Jo Dan.  The fight will be aired in the United States on Showtime and replayed before a doubleheader that will take place in Las Vegas, Nevada that will be headlined by Jhonny Gonzalez versus Gary Russell.

Vargas has fought at both super lightweight and welterweight throughout his six and a half year career. He has successfully defended his title twice and said that he is interested in moving back up to welterweight for the right fight. 

"I feel that Brook should win his upcoming fight," said Vargas with this preface. "We do have to keep in mind that he had a incident where he needed time away from boxing not too long ago and hopefully that doesn't effect his ability to perform at the level that we have seen him perform."

Vargas is currently training and waiting for the date of his next fight.

The Las Vegas native went 3-0 in 2014 and made it clear that he wants to fight for a welterweight title in the near future.
 
"He has the IBF tittle and for that reason it's a fight I am pursuing.  I want to become a two time champion," Vargas told BoxingScene.com.
