FRANCISCO “EL BANDIDO” VARGAS

“I am very excited and motivated, and I know Will Tomlinson is coming ready for a good fight, and I’m going to give him my best as well.

“I’m very happy and motivated. This is what I dreamed of, to fight on HBO. This gives me the extra motivation to be prepared and ready to bring a great fight for fans.

“I know Will is training hard, and I’m glad he is. He has nothing to lose and everything to win. I am right around the corner from a title, and I’m working very hard as well.

“This fight is important to me because it puts me closer to a world title fight, and I am preparing to fight at 100% to win this fight.”

‘WILD’ WILL TOMLINSON

“This is a massive opportunity that I’m very thankful for. I’m training very hard, getting ready for the fight of my life.

“I really believe this is going to be a coming out fight for me in the U.S., and I’m going to be able to introduce ‘Wild Will’ to the Latino and U.S. boxing fans.

“Vargas is an aggressive fighter; he is there to fight, and we are there to give the fans what they want to see, which is a good fight.

“I’m going get in there, and Vargas is going there to hit, and it’s going be a great fight for the fans because I can guarantee it will be action-packed. It’s going be a good fight to watch, and I’m going be just a little bit better than Vargas; I’ll hit harder, and I’ll do enough to get the win.

“It all comes down to who is going to prepare the best and who will be ready. The lifestyle I’ve been living the last two years is a pretty good indication of how much I want this. I’ve put it all on the line to come here to America. This will be the occasion to make it happen for me.”
