Antonio Vargas-Winston Guerrero to headline ‘Most Valuable Prospects 10’

MVP announced today that “Most Valuable Prospects 10” will take place on December 13 at the Caribe Royale Resort.

Headlining the event will be Antonio Vargas, 18-1 (10 KOs), facing Nicaraguan prospect Winston “El Fantasma” Guerrero, 22-0 (13 KOs), in a 12-round bantamweight bout for a vacant interim title. Vargas, 28, is coming off a victory over Jonathan Rodriguez in February 2024. Guerrero, 24, will be striving to maintain his unbeaten record and claim a strap.

The co-main event will feature 18-year-old boxing prodigy and actor Javon “Wanna” Walton, 1-0-1 (1 KO), against Erik Hanley, 1-1 (1 KO), in a four-round junior lightweight contest. Walton will be aiming for his second win following a split draw in his pro debut. Hanley, 31, is coming off a knockout victory in February.

“I’m ready to show the world the new and improved Wanna Walton,” said Walton.

The card will also include a heavyweight showdown between undefeated Gurgen “Big Gug” Hovhannisyan, 6-0 (6 KOs), and Patrick “Magic” Mailata, 6-2 (3 KOs). Hovhannisyan, 26, a rising star based in Los Angeles, last stopped Luis Pascual in May 2024. Mailata, 29, will be aiming to rebound from a split decision loss to Antonio Mireles in 2023.

The event, available on DAZN, will coincide with the World Boxing Association’s annual convention.
