Chi-Juarez added to August 20 Vargas card!

Undefeated Rocky Juarez will get his first shot at a world title on August 20, 2005. Juarez, a 2000 Olympian, will be in against the underated Injin Chi, holder of the WBC featherweight championship.  Chi and Vargas are rated #2 and #3 respectively in the Boxingtalk ratings behind only Juan Manuel Marquez. The bout will take place in Chicago as part of a doubleheader with Fernando Vargas facing a still-to-be-named opponent. The Vargas card was originally slated for August 6, 2005 but the show has now been pushed back two weeks. HBO will broadcast the show, which will be a Main Events promotion.
