Amado Vargas’ Shock 2025 Schedule: Why ‘El Malvado’ Is Fighting A Crossover Star In Dubai
The question dominating the boxing world right now is not *when* Amado Vargas will fight next, but *who* he is fighting and *where*. As of today, Friday, December 19, 2025, the undefeated professional boxer is preparing for a shocking move that has divided fans and critics alike: a crossover bout against social media star Deen The Great. This unexpected clash is scheduled to take place just one day after this article's publishing date, marking a bizarre and highly anticipated end to the year for the son of legendary champion Fernando "El Feroz" Vargas.
Amado Vargas, known as "El Malvado," has maintained a perfect professional record throughout 2025, continuing his steady climb up the ranks of the lightweight division. His decision to step away from traditional professional boxing for a high-profile Misfits event is a massive gamble, but it places him squarely in the global spotlight, generating immense curiosity about his future trajectory and his commitment to chasing a world title.

The Confirmed Next Fight: Vargas vs. Deen The Great in Dubai
The most anticipated and controversial bout on Amado Vargas's 2025 schedule is his final fight of the year. This match represents a significant departure from his professional career path, as he steps into the world of crossover boxing.
Fight Details: Misfits Mania Showdown
The fight is a six-round lightweight contest on the undercard of the massive Misfits Mania event in the Middle East.
- Opponent: Deen The Great (Crossover Boxer/Social Media Star)
- Date: Saturday, December 20, 2025
- Event: Misfits Mania (Andrew Tate vs. Chase DeMoor Undercard)
- Venue: Dubai, UAE
- Weight Class: Lightweight
- Significance: A high-risk, high-reward crossover bout that offers massive exposure but little professional credibility.
For a professional boxer with a pristine 13-0 record, taking on an opponent whose background is primarily in YouTube and influencer boxing is unusual. Deen The Great, despite his crossover status, is a serious competitor in that sphere, often fighting at lightweight. However, the gulf in professional experience is vast. Vargas is expected to win, with one professional prediction suggesting he will finish the fight inside the scheduled six rounds. The primary motivation for "El Malvado" is likely the enormous global audience and the substantial paycheck that comes with a headlining spot on a Misfits card, a platform that can significantly boost his name recognition beyond the hardcore boxing fanbase.
A Look Back at Amado Vargas’s 2025 Professional Campaign
Before the surprising move to the Misfits ring, Amado Vargas had a productive professional year, continuing his development under the watchful eye of his father and trainer, Fernando Vargas. His 2025 schedule focused on increasing the length and quality of his bouts, moving from four and six-rounders to longer, more challenging contests.
The Featherweight Test Against Angel Luna
A major test for Vargas in 2025 came in the co-main event of an April fight card. This bout was a significant step up in rounds and opponent quality.
- Opponent: Angel “El Gato” Luna
- Date: Saturday, April 26, 2025
- Weight Class: Featherweight (10 rounds)
- Outcome: Vargas secured a victory, though the fight was a challenging learning experience.
The Angel Luna fight was a crucial benchmark, pushing Vargas into a 10-round distance at the featherweight limit. Although he won, the performance was reportedly "less-than-spectacular" in the eyes of some critics, prompting Vargas to demand a quick turnaround to prove himself. This desire for redemption and to showcase his growth is a key driver in his career, reflecting the fighting spirit of the Vargas family.
Targeting Bigger Names and The Road Ahead
Throughout the year, Vargas has been vocal about his ambition. After a tough win against Eduardo Hernandez Trejo earlier in his career, he made it clear he was "targeting bigger names" in the division.
His professional path is clearly aimed at the super bantamweight and featherweight divisions, where he has the most natural advantages. However, the Lightweight bout against Deen The Great suggests a willingness to move up for lucrative opportunities. The question for 2026 is whether the exposure gained from the Misfits event will translate into bigger, meaningful professional fights on platforms like DAZN, where he has previously featured.
Topical Authority: The Vargas Dynasty and Crossover Boxing
The "Vargas Dynasty" is a compelling narrative in boxing. Amado and his brothers, Fernando Vargas Jr. and Emiliano Vargas, are all undefeated professional boxers being trained by their Hall-of-Fame father. Their collective journey is a major storyline for boxing fans, and Amado is a key part of that legacy.
Amado's decision to fight Deen The Great is not just a personal career choice; it’s a statement about the shifting landscape of boxing. It highlights how professional prospects, even undefeated ones, are increasingly willing to engage with the crossover market for financial gain and exposure, a trend that is simultaneously celebrated for its spectacle and criticized for its dilution of the sport's integrity. For "El Malvado," the December 20th fight is a chance to introduce his professional skills to millions of new fans, setting the stage for a potentially massive 2026 campaign back in the traditional lightweight and featherweight ranks.
