Edgar Berlenga Jr and Josue Vargas are set to light up Madison Square Garden on the December 14 mega card presented by Top Rank that features pound for pound superstar Terrence Crawford defending his world welterweight title against Egis Kavaliauskas, Richard Commey's world title defense against Teofimo Lopez and Irish superstar Michael Conlan's highly anticipated grudge match against Olympic foe Vladimir Nikitin.

Berlenga Jr and Vargas work under the watchful eye of famed trainer Andre Rozier, with the pair also working with their own fathers in different capacities. Rozier, who has Commey on the December 14 card opened up about the progression of the two New York prodigy's that he refers to as 'The New York Ricans'.

Rozier said, "I'm very excited for both Edgar and Josue to be on this massive Top Rank show on December 14 at the Mecca of Boxing, Madison Square Garden. This is the platform that these boys need, as they are two unbelievable talents that I have no doubt will be world champions in the future.

"It's going to be a busy night for myself and Team Havoc, as we have Richard Commey also on the card in his massive clash with Teofimo Lopez, but I expect standout performances from Josue, who is also trained by his father and he produced a classy performance recently in Philadelphia, Edgar Berlenga Jr who is an absolute beast and is coming on leaps and bounds constantly and of course I expect Richard Commey to defend his world title."

Vargas recently ran out victorious on the undercard of one of the fights of the year in Berterbiev and Gvozdyk and the Bronx based prodigy gave his take on his last performance and what he sees for December 14.

Vargas said, "I fought a tough fighter in my last fight and I feel I performed well. I am getting better with each fight and continuing to learn and hopefully, I can move into the world rankings soon, so I am hoping for a step up on December 14. The better the opponent the better Josue Vargas you will see."

Edgar Berlenga Jr has an unprecedented twelve first-round knockout victories from his first twelve professional fights. The hard-hitting middleweight weighed in on what he sees for himself on December 14.

Berlenga Jr commented, "People are asking whether or not I have the stamina to go the distance. I am always conditioned for the distance, that has never been a problem. I want a step up as I want to capture a title in early 2020, so I would like an opponent that can last more than one round.

"I am learning a lot under the guidance of Andre Rozier and Team Havoc so I expect an improved performance from a technical aspect on December 14 but also an explosive one."
