January 1 former world heavyweight champion Charles Martin (28-2-1, 25 KOs) will face Luis Ortiz (32-2, 27 KOs) in the main event of the evening from the Premier Boxing Champions. "Prince Charles" told Sky Sports that a few months ago he was preparing for a fight with Deontay Wilder (42-2-1, 41 KOs) when the American wasn't sure if he would get a chance for a third fight with Tyson Fury.
“It would be a great opportunity for me. During training, I gave my all, despite the realization that the fight might not take place, ”the former IBF champion recalled.
“Wilder has a lot of flaws and I can hit hard. It's not so easy to hit me, because I never go straight, I box strategically, ”said Martin, who, according to the bookmakers, will not be the favorite in Saturday's fight with Ortiz (chances 4.5 and 1.3, respectively) ... The New Year's Gala will be broadcast by TVP Sport.
