Pre-planning for an intriguing fight between Lomachenko and Haney does nothing for Ortiz.

"I always wanted to fight Devin Haney," Ortiz told BoxingScene.com. - I think it will be a great fight, and I really see myself in a fight with Devin Haney. All the pieces of the puzzle line up and once I beat Lomachenko on October 29th, we'll be fighting Devin Haney."
Ortiz, 26, is full of confidence after a life-changing unanimous decision win over former WBO super featherweight champion Jamel Herring in his last fight in May in Las Vegas.
“I think this will be one fight that boxing fans will remember for a long time and will ask for another one,” Ortiz said about the fight with Haney. - I believe that when necessary, I know how to entertain the audience. He is a defensive boxer, but I feel that I can pull him on me and I will make our fight more interesting. I won't try to box with a boxer, you understand?"
