Vergil Ortiz Jr. is getting ready to step back into the ring. The undefeated Texan boxer plans to make his comeback in October 2025 after dealing with a hand injury.
Ortiz, who's got Mexican roots, has been on a tear with 23 wins and no losses. What's even more impressive? He's knocked out 21 of those opponents. His last fight was a win against Israil Madrimov, but then he had to take a break because of his hand.
Golden Boy Promotions, led by Oscar De La Hoya, is backing Ortiz all the way. They want to make him the next big thing in the 154-pound division. De La Hoya and his team are working hard to keep Ortiz in the spotlight, both in the media and in the ring.
The comeback fight is set for the first or second week of October 2025. We don't know who Ortiz will face yet, but you can bet it'll be a good test for him. This fight is a big deal for a few reasons. It's not just about coming back from injury. Ortiz wants to shut up his critics and show he's a real contender for the undisputed championship.
The 154-pound division is tough, with lots of talented fighters. But Ortiz has a chance to stand out as one of the best. He's part of a new generation of boxers who are connecting with fans through social media and other digital platforms.
"Vergil has all the tools to be a superstar," De La Hoya said in a recent interview. "He's got the power, the skills, and the charisma. We're going to give him every opportunity to show the world what he can do."
2025 could be a huge year for Ortiz. If everything goes according to plan, he might cement his status as one of boxing's brightest stars. De La Hoya fully trusts in his potential, and fans are eager to see him shine again.
Ortiz knows he's got a lot to prove when he steps back in the ring. But with his track record and the support behind him, he's ready for the challenge. October can't come soon enough for this young fighter and his fans.
