Luis Ortiz signs with Matchroom Boxing

Thats great news, hopefully this means Ortiz gets a title shot soon. I think Hearn is making a smart move, sign Ortiz before he becomes AJ mandatory and they might have to swerve him.

 

Interesting move for EH

Means he now has

AJ
Whyte
Price
Ortiz

In his heavyweight stable... It's looking strong and interesting, I think he wants a big boy at nearly every event now....

Hey, I'm not complaining

 

Good signing by Hearn, hopefully see more of Ortiz in big fights.

 

I wanna see Ortiz clean out all the heavyweights in the UK.

 

Can see this being the first of many making the journey across the Atlantic to the new home of boxing. Nowhere in the world is boxing as popular as the UK now.

 

I think you're onto something . I can totally see other fighters signing with Matchroom, probably a lot of pbc fighters once that company goes under.

 

except price and whyte are british domestic level.

 

other than perhaps joshua, the rest are easy pickings for ortiz.

 

That crazy fool Dereck Chisora would randomly show up at a Luis Ortiz / Matchroom press conference, throw a glass of water in Ortiz's face, and challenge Ortiz to a fight. Once the Ortiz vs Chisora fight is made, Chizzy would then plant a sloppy kiss on Ortiz at the weigh-in, and get wiped out for his insolence by an uncompromising King Kong Ortiz.

 

Ortiz a prime example of a guy who has everything to gain from it. A big KO artist with no distinguishable fan base in the US outside the hardcores.

 

He was never gonna become AJ's mandatory because he held that paper iterim belt. Like with Eubank, Hearn's first move with Ortiz will be to ditch that and make him available for AJ.

 

Price isn't with Hearn.

Eddie has signed Ortiz to fatten him before he gets fed to Joshua.

 

Good signing but I can't help that Luis Ortiz has hardly any money to take home after fights. I think Hearn is exploiting King Kong.
