Boxer Vergil Ortiz will enter the ring during the month of November. The athlete has been inactive since his fight against Erickson Lubin in the city of Fort Worth, Texas.
The pause in his career occurred due to a legal process against the Golden Boy company. The parties concluded the dispute by signing an agreement on July 17.
Division options
Rick Mirigian, the boxer's representative, confirmed the athlete's return. The agent explained that the team is analyzing names in the 154 and 160 pound categories for the match.
Vergil Ortiz's manager noted that they are waiting for a response from a super welterweight rival. He added that the announcement regarding the card will occur in the following weeks.
Currently, Vergil Ortiz holds the interim championship of the World Boxing Council at 154 pounds. The athlete entered this division in January 2024 due to health issues.
The title landscape
The promotion to the middleweight category represents an alternative for Vergil Ortiz. This decision arises from the agenda of the monarchs of the super welterweight division.
Boxers like Jaron Ennis and Sebastián Fundora project defenses of their belts against other challengers. Given this scenario, Vergil Ortiz awaits confirmation of his opponent to compete in a championship.
