This is a very interesting heavyweight match-up and it could serve up a good action fight. An ESPN story informs us how Luis Ortiz and “Prince” Charles Martin will collide in Hollywood, Florida on New Year’s Day.
Andy Ruiz Jr. is looking to return to the ring before the end of the year against Luis ‘King Kong’ Ortiz (32-2, 27 KOs) or former IBF heavyweight champion Charles Martin (28-2-1, 25 KOs).
While Anthony Joshua had made it clear that it’s all about his next fight and Oleksandr Usyk, he is also looking ahead.
Former heavyweight champ Andy Ruiz was a guest on Mike Tyson’s Hot Boxin’ podcast yesterday and the first Mexican-American heavyweight champion in history spoke about his immediate future.
Andy Ruiz got the win last night, surviving an early knockdown and a game effort from veteran Chris Arreola, and fans are already asking “The Destroyer” what’s next.
Luis Ortiz can still bang, we know that. But did we get anything other than this confirmation from last night’s flash of a fight between Ortiz and Alexander Flores?
Top heavyweight contender Luis “King Kong” Ortiz (32-2, 27 KOs) impressed in his ring return Saturday night, knocking out Alexander “The Great” Flores (18-3-1, 16 KOs) in the first round of their FOX PBC Fight Night main event and on FOX Deportes from Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
Luis Ortiz 241.6 vs. Alexander Flores 231.8
Frank Sanchez 227.6 vs. Brian Howard 210
Michael Coffie 267.8 vs. Joey Abell 250.8
Steven Torres 252.8 vs.
Luis Ortiz is making noise again. The 41-year-old (officially, plenty of people strongly feeling he is, in fact, a good deal older) will return to the ring this Saturday night when he will square off with Alexander Flores, 18-2-1(16) in Los Angeles.
It seems we will get two returning heavyweight names on November 7 on FOX. According to boxing writer Mike Coppinger, Luis Ortiz will face 31-year-old journeyman Scott Alexander on the November card that will be headlined by Andy Ruiz against Chris Arreola.
