With exceptional power and sublime technical skills , Ortiz (32-2, 27 Нокаута) has been a fixture atop heavyweight rankings for years , with his only defeats coming in memorable contests against former longtime heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder . Born in Camaguey , Cuba and trained by longtime coach Herman Caicedo in Miami , Ortiz won three bouts between Wilder contests , defeating Travis Kauffman , Christian Hammer and Razvan Cojanu . Prior to that run , Ortiz picked up victories over the likes of Bryant Jennings , Tony Thompson and Malik Scott to build up his heavyweight resume . Съвсем наскоро, Ortiz blasted out Alexander Flores in the first round of their November 2020 край. “I can’t wait to give my fans in South Florida a great show on New Year’s Day and earn another shot at the heavyweight title ,” Саид Ортис. “Charles Martin is a good fighter , but he’s standing in my way . The only thing on my mind is getting in the ring and making a big statement in this fight to show again why I’m feared by the heavyweight division. ” The 35-year-old Martin (28-2-1, 25 Нокаута) стана шампион в тежка категория през януари 2016 когато той спечели с технически нокаут срещу после непобеден Вячеслав Glazkov. След като загуби титлата си на Антъни Джошуа, Martin has won five of his last six fights , с всичките си победи идва отвътре разстоянието. Първоначално от St. Louis, сега живее в Лас Вегас и в момента тренират в Южна Калифорния с Мани Роблес, Мартин успя да се върне от тесен поражение решение за Адам Kownacki в 2018 to earn three-straight victories , including most recently knocking out Gerald Washington in February 2020. “Nobody wants to fight me and nobody wants to fight Ortiz , so we’ll fight each other ,” каза Мартин. “I’m going to show the world on January 1 why I deserve a title shot . I’ve paid my dues and I want my belt back . Beating Ortiz is going to get me one step closer to that goal . In order to become two-time heavyweight champion , I have to get past Ortiz first , so that’s exactly what I’m going to do.” An amateur standout from his native Cuba , Санчес (19-0, 13 Нокаута) now trains in San Diego with top trainer Eddy Reynoso . The 29-year-old has stayed busy on his rise up the heavyweight rankings , scoring three victories in 2020 as he earned a unanimous decision over Joey Dawejko and stopped Brian Howard and Julian Fernandez . Sanchez most recently scored a career-best win in October , dropping previously unbeaten Efe Ajagba on his way to a unanimous decision victory . “I’m happy to be back so soon after beating Agjaba , but the work is only beginning ,” Саид Sanchez. “There’s much more to be done . I believe I will be the first heavyweight champion in Cuban history . Negron is a strong , dangerous opponent . I’ll have to be my best , but I’m confident that I will come out victorious . I believe in my team , and my team believes in me . We’ll start the New Year off getting to 20-0, remain busy and make a strong case for a world title by year’s end. ” The 2008 Puerto Rican Olympian Negron (25-3, 20 Нокаута) rides a five-fight winning streak into January 1, including four wins by stoppage . The 34-year-old bounced back from defeats to Dominic Breazeale and Brian Howard to put together his win streak , which includes a March 2020 knockout over previously unbeaten Robert Alfonso . Negron has fought professionally since 2009 and now lives in Miami where he trains alongside Luis Ortiz . “This is a great opportunity for me to get a win over a strong up-and-coming fighter and show everyone what I’m capable of ,” said Negron . “I’m training hard and I’ve had great sparring in order to be ready for anything that Sanchez is going to bring . My experience and preparation are going to be the difference . I’m extremely motivated to give the fans a great fight and put myself in position to get a world title opportunity. ” Born in South Carolina and now fighting out of Los Angeles , Rice (14-6-1, 10 Нокаута) will look to repeat a career-best performance in the rematch against Coffie , after he stopped the previously unbeaten fighter in the fifth-round in July . Rice won six of seven fights from 2018 през 2019 before a pair of losses in 2020 against then unbeatens Efe Ajagba and Demsey McKean . In a pro career that dates back to 2014, the blemishes on Rice’s records have all come against previously unbeaten fighters . “In my last fight against Coffie , I went in there to prove myself and do what I had been training to do ,” said Rice . “It was sink or swim , and I came out on top . Now I have to go out there on January 1 and show that it wasn’t a fluke . This is a great stage for me to display my talents and prove that I’m capable of big things . I’m looking to give the fans a great performance and I know that Coffie is doing the same . Don’t miss this fight. ” Coffie (12-1, 9 Нокаута) hopes to bounce back from his first career defeat after dropping the first matchup against Rice in July . A Marine Corps veteran who picked up boxing after returning from overseas , Coffie quickly impressed in amateur tournaments enough to earn sparring assignments with Deontay Wilder and Adam Kownacki . He was born in the Bronx , but now trains in Orlando , Florida and broke through in 2020 with three dominating stoppage victories , including knockouts over previously unbeaten opponents Darmani Rock and Luis Pena . “I want to get it back and make it an actual fight this time against Jonny Rice ,” said Coffie . "Последния път, I was in a position where I faced some adversity , and I had to make a decision to go through with the fight . I know that I can fight through adversity , and on January 1, I will be ready for whatever way the fight goes . На January 1, there will be a fight. ” Вашингтон (20-4-1, 13 Нокаута) е двуметров и шест в тежката категория, който е бивш колежа по футбол забележителни в Университета на Южна Калифорния и северноамерикански.

I want to show now that I belong on this stage . I’m proud to be in this position to show what I can do and I’m going to make the most of the opportunity.” The 29-year-old Faust (8-0, 6 Нокаута) turned pro in February 2020 after an extensive amateur career fighting out of his native Svitlovodsk , Украйна.

I love the atmosphere . This is a great chance to show myself on this pay-per-view show against a very high-quality opponent .
