Matchroom Boxing USA has announced the imminent launch of a Spanish-language series “Peleamundo.”
Former two-division titleholder Jessie Vargas will host the show, which will appear on Matchroom Boxing’s YouTube channel “Peleamundo.” Vargas will interview the biggest Spanish-speaking fighters in the Matchroom stable and others.
That includes Juan Francisco Estrada, Julio Cesar Martinez, Roman Gonzalez and Amanda Serrano, as well as prospects Diego Pacheco, Alexis Espino and Marc Castro.
Vargas also will speak to legends of the sport, celebrity boxing fans and fans in general in his #AskJessie section.
The show is set to launch this coming weekend.
“I am so excited to be part of this new series ‘Peleamundo’ with Matchroom Boxing USA,” Vargas said. “There is a wealth of elite level and rising Hispanic fighters in the Matchroom Boxing USA stable and the Latino fight fans are some of the most knowledgeable and passionate followers of our great sport. I can’t wait to bring them exclusive interviews with their favorite fighters and also get the fans on the show to answer the questions they have.
“As the show develops, I hope to be talking to some of the real greats of the game and my favorite fighters, as well as going behind the scenes at Matchroom Boxing USA shows. It’s going to be a blast!”
Said promoter Eddie Hearn: “I am delighted to bring ‘Peleamundo’ to the Hispanic fight fans. There are so many fantastic fighters with a Latin flavor, and I am sure that we will create some fantastic exclusive content with both the launch interviews with some of the biggest names in the game and when Jessie hits the road at our shows.
“Not only will we hear from current World champions like Juan Francisco Estrada, Roman ‘Chocolatito’ Gonzalez and Julio Cesar Martinez, but it is also a brilliant opportunity to introduce our young fighters like Diego Pacheco, Alexis Espino and Marc Castro to a new audience.”
