Overview
- Vargas stopped Callum Nulty by technical knockout at 0:43 of round two after scoring five knockdowns in their co‑main event at BKB 61 on Saturday.
- A referee deducted a point late in the first round after Vargas landed a punch on a grounded Nulty, an infraction that did not prevent the fight from ending inside two rounds.
- The London booking followed the cancellation of Vargas’s planned Biloxi appearance, and the win moves him to 2‑0 in BKB while Nulty falls to 0‑2 under the promotion’s bare‑knuckle record.
- Vargas is the son of former world champion Fernando Vargas, trains with BKFC champion Jamel Herring, will help his brother Emiliano prepare for a December 5 fight, and BKB has indicated Vargas could be booked that same night in Los Angeles.
- BKB has repeatedly tapped recognizable boxing names to steady cards after late cancellations, and bare‑knuckle rules create a separate fight record where fouls such as punches to a downed opponent can draw point penalties or stoppages.
