King Kong vs. Alexander The Great will air live on FOX television, începând de la 8:00 p.m. ȘI / 5:30 p.m. PT, in the 10-round main event on the Premier Boxing Champions card from Microsoft Theatre in Los Angeles.
“Ortiz is a 2-time world title challenger who has a lot of experience,” Flores said. “Sunt tineri, flămând, 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,” Flori’ promotor Keith Veltre (RJJ Boxing CEO/co-founder) adăugat, “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 (CA), lost in 2014 to world champions Charles Martin și 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.
Cuba-born Ortiz, who lives in Miami, has lost only twice, both times to world champion Deontay Wilder. Ortiz, a 41-year-old southpaw, has defeated a litany of world-class heavyweights during his 10 ½ year pro career, including Christian Hammer, Travis Kaufman, Malik Scott, Tony Thompson, Bryan Jennings, Monte Barrett, Lateef Kayode and Epifanio Mendoza. Ca un amator, Ortiz had a reported 349-19 record, and he captured a gold medal at the 2006 Campionatele Naționale cubaneze.
