Ortiz is returning to the ring one week after the World Boxing Council lifted a sanction that it had imposed against the Cuban heavyweight contender in October. Ortiz was pulled from a match against world champion Deontay Wilder scheduled for Nov. 4, after Ortiz failed a Voluntary Anti-Doping Association drug test. Last week the WBC ruled that Ortiz had failed to disclose two medications that he was taking, which triggered his positive test. He was fined $25,000 for failing to make the disclosure, and re-instated into the organization’s rankings.
That cleared the way for Ortiz to return to the ring, and he will waste no time doing so with a match that he hopes will help propel him toward another world title shot in 2018.
“I’m just thankful to be back in the sport I love so much. I can’t wait to get some action and feel that ring and those gloves tight on my wrist,” وقال أورتيز. “أود أن أشكر الجميع, especially my loyal fans, who stood by me and supported me through this rough time. I don’t think it would have been possible without you guys. I’d like to thank the WBC and Mr. Sulaiman for being humane enough to take time for their investigation, and my entire team who never lost faith in me. But most of all I need to thank God because without him there wouldn’t be anything worth living for.”
وأورتيز، البالغ من العمر 38 عاما (27-0, 23 كوس), of Camaguey, Cuba now resides in Miami, فلوريدا., and will be fighting Martz in a 10-round bout in front of his adopted hometown crowd. تحولت الأعسر شديد اللهجة للمحترفين قبل سبع سنوات بعد انشقاقه عن كوبا ومنذ ذلك الحين تسلق بثبات سلم للوزن الثقيل. وعزز مكانته في دوري الدرجة مع انتصارات على المتنافسين المخضرم براينت جينينغز, Tony Thompson and Malik Scott and is currently ranked No. 3 من WBC. Ortiz hasn’t fought in almost a year, having scored a technical knockout victory over David Allen at Manchester Arena in England on Dec. 10, 2016 في قتاله الأخير.
Ortiz-Martz replaces the Chad Dawson-Edwin Rodriguez light heavyweight bout on the card. The match was cancelled after Dawson suffered an injury in training camp.
The 27-year-old Martz (16-5-1, 13 كوس), a 6-foot-7 heavyweight from Clarksburg, فرجينيا الغربية, has taken on world champion Joseph Parker and contender Bryant Jennings during his five-year professional career. He is coming off a second round technical knockout victory over Tim Washington on Nov. 17.
