Fernando Vargas is ready for his close-up…

Following a long hiatus, the 36-year-old retired Mexican American retired boxing star will be returning to the scene. But this time he’ll be headlining his own reality show on the mun2 cable network.

Welcome to Los Vargas,

Entitled Welcome to Los Vargas, the series centers on the three-time world boxing champion, his wife of 20 years, Martha, their four dynamic children, Fernando Jr., Amado, Emiliano, and Mibella “China,” and Martha’s loving father, Alfredo.

The reality series will take viewers behind-the-scenes of the Vargas’ crazy and entertaining life, with Martha trying to balance their busy household of four kids and the recent addition of her father moving in, to Fernando’s mission of training the next great boxing champion and opening his own gym.

Whether inside or outside of the ring, Vargas – who won a bronze medal as an amateur at the 1995 Pan American Games – has never thrown in the towel, he’s confronted life’s obstacles with perseverance and gratitude. He contributes his success to the support of his loving family and faith in God.

“Viewers will get to see how our family deals with issues in a positive way,” Vargas says.

The celeb-reality series will give us a look at the man behind the medals, the husband, the father, and the entrepreneur. The Vargas family will open the doors to their home, share their most intimate moments, and prove that with love, patience, and laughter, that there’s nothing this family can’t handle.

Welcome to Los Vargas is being produced by Anyone Collective and executive produced by Shari Scorca for mun2.

 

The celeb-reality series will premiere on Sunday, January 26th at 9:00 pm EST/8 pm CST.
