Ortiz: "I'll send a message to all the heavyweights"

January 1 in Hollywood in the main fight of the evening Luis Ortiz (32-2, 27 KOs) will meet Charles Martin (28-2-1, 25 KOs). The Cuban promises to send a loud signal to all the players of the royal division with his performance.

“Actually, I live in the training room, now we are finishing the final touches for the fight with Martin. We know that in a battle with him we cannot stop at what has been achieved, we cannot underestimate him. We have a plan and we are confident that it will work. We will have the answer to whatever Martin shows in the ring,” said Ortiz, who beat Alexander Flores in the first round in his last fight last November by knockout, returning from a knockout defeat to Deontay Wilder in November 2019.

“Let him think that I'm just a guy on whose back he will rise to the top. But everyone knows that the fight with me is Calvary, an extremely difficult path. They look at me like an old man, but I have a sharp mind, and every fight I have is a message to all the heavyweights,” added the 42-year-old Cuban.
