“Ortiz is a 2-time world title challenger who has a lot of experience,” Flores said. “Би залуу байна, олон, driven and determined to win. Beating Ortiz is a life-changing opportunity that I won’t be taking for granted.”
“Ortiz is a great fighter,” Цэцэг’ дэмжигч Keith Veltre (RJJ Boxing CEO/co-founder) нэмсэн, “but I think he may regret fighting a hungry lion like Flores. Fighting the elite of the heavyweight division has never been a problem for Alexander, whose only two losses have been to world champions. He gained invaluable experience in those fights that he’ll take into the ring against Oritz. We’d like to thank Team Ortiz, PBC and FOX for this tremendous opportunity.”
The 30-year-old Flores, fighting out of Roland Heights (Зэрэг), lost in 2014 to world champions Чарльз Мартин болон Joseph Parker four years later Flores captured the World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World heavyweight title in 2012 with a fifth-round stoppage of Joey Montoya.
