New York Giants running back Cam Skattebo made a notable appearance Saturday night at Barclays Center, joining rising boxing prospect Emiliano Vargas for his ring walk.
Vargas, named the 2025 Fight Freaks Unite prospect of the year, faced Bryce Mills in a junior welterweight bout on the Xander Zayas‑Jaron “Boots” Ennis undercard streamed on DAZN PPV. Skattebo, draped in Mexican and American flags and wearing a dark jacket, accompanied the fighter to the ring.
In a viral moment captured on video, Skattebo dramatically shotgunned a beer as they entered, drawing cheers from the crowd.
Vargas dominated, dropping Mills twice and securing a fourth‑round knockout victory, keeping the Mexican‑American fighter on track for bigger opportunities in the 140‑pound division.
Skattebo has embraced the offseason spotlight with appearances at Knicks playoff games and a scripted WWE brawl. His presence at the boxing event underscores his growing connection to New York’s sports scene as he prepares for the upcoming NFL season.
