Vergil Ortiz Jr. He confirmed that he was too injured to cause an IBF junior champion in the middle category of Bakhhhhhhhhhhhhs Murtazaliev 28 on June 28 at the planned event by Turki Alalshikh on Alcatraz.
Ortiz Jr. (23-0, 21 ko) says he has a hand injury and a cut that has been cured of his last fight against Israil Madrid. However, he wants to fight in the summer, but against Jermella Charla or Sebastian Fundara. Neither of them is realistic.
Ortiz Jr. He does not say his choice because he is not interested in the fight against the dangerous shot of Murtazaliev. If the following will defend their temporary WBC title of 154 kilograms, these are the highest ranked candidates:
- Serhii Bohachuk
- Xander Zayas
- Charles Conwell
- Jesus Ramos Jr.
- Israil Madrid
Injury report
“I heard it was in June. My hands were not ready. I got a cut from a fight that is not ready. So, the chances of this happen are thin to anyone,” said Vergil Ortiz Jr. Ariel x ade Boxing show on the possibility of him and IBF’s junior champion in the middleweight category Bakhhhhhs Murtazaliev, June 28 at Alcatraz. “So I’m not ready to fight the card if that happens. That’s just a logic of it.”
Hand injuries and still healing might be a good thing for Vergil Ortiz Jr., because it would be a difficult path for him if he faced Murtazaliev at the Turki Alalshikh 28 event in Alcatraz.
That fight would require Vergil Jr. -And to take some vicious shots and may not be capable. He looked like he was a train after three rounds against Israil Madrid on February 2nd, and that was against a guy who was sick and moving around the ring. Bakhhram would stand right in front of the Ortiz Jr, loading on everything. You can say that Vergil JR injuries are good for him because the alternative is fighting against Murtazalieva and ends like Tszyu.
Summer targets
“What are the three names you hunt in the summer of 2025?” said Ade Oladipo Vergil Jr.
“[Sebastian] Fundora, he has WBC [and the WBO junior middleweight titles]”Said Ortiz Jr. appointed who he wanted to fight this year.” I believe [Jermell] Charlo is a good fight. There are many people who say, “He finished”, then you got a lot of people, saying they can’t beat him. I think people would love to see that he is a good fighter, and I would like to fight against him.
“As for the three, I think Murtazaliev. I think he’s a good fighter. It’s a fight that everyone wants to see. I read all the tweets and that’s the one that made everyone excited, and I’m not the one who would turn away from the fight. So I think it’s a very good fight.
Ortiz Jr. He should throw Jermella Charla out of her mind and focus on what is possible. The dental fairy will not deliver to him Jermella in the summer. If Vergil Jr. Fighting in the summer, he will have to bite the bullet and lead the fight offered by Turks Alalshikh. If it is Bakhhhram Murtazaliev, this is what is for him.
