Vergil Ortiz Jr. Throws about Charlo & Fundora: unrealistic summer objectives

Vergil ORTIZ JR. confirmed that he was too injured to challenge the champion of medium junior weights of the IBF, Bakhram Murtazaliev, on June 28 on the planned event of Turki Alashik on Alcatraz.

Ortiz Jr. (23-0, 21 KB) says that he had injuries in hand and a cup that is still healing his last fight against Israil Madrimov. However, he wants to fight in summer, but against Jermell Charlo or Sebastian Fundora. None of them are realistic.

Ortiz Jr. does not say his choice because he is not interested in fighting the dangerous Puncher Murtazaliev. If he wants to defend his temporary WBC title of 154 LB, they are the best classified contenders:

  1. SERHII BOHACHUK
  2. Xander Zayas
  3. Charles Conwell
  4. Jesus Ramos Jr.
  5. Israil Madrimov

Injury report

“I heard that it was in June. My hands are not ready. I had a combat cup that is not ready. Thus, the chances that this happens is slim nothing, ”said Vergil Ortiz Jr. Ariel x Ade Boxing show on the possibility of him and the champion of the middle junior weights of the IBF, Bakhram Murtazaliev, fights on June 28 on Alcatraz. “So I’m not ready to fight on the card if it happens. It’s just logic.

Hand injuries and the cup of healing could be a good thing for Vergil Ortiz Jr. because it would be a difficult route for him if he was facing Murtazaliev on the Turki Alashik event on June 28 in Alcatraz.

This fight would force Vergil Jr. to take vicious photos and he may not be able. It seemed to have been a sinking after his three laps against Israil Madrimov on February 22, and it was against a guy who was sick and who was moving in the ring. Bakhram would be held right in front of Ortiz Jr, taking care of everything. You can say that the injuries of Vergil Jr are good for him because the alternative is to fight Murtazaliev and to find himself as Tszyu.

Summer targets

“What are the three names you hunt in summer in 2025?” said Ade Oladipo to Vergil Jr.

“(Sebastian) Fundora, he has WBC (and the Junior WBO junior weights),” said Ortiz Jr., naming who he wants to fight this year. “I believe that (Jermell) Charlo is a good fight. There are a lot of people who say: “He’s finished”, so you have a lot of people saying that I can’t beat him. I think people would like to see that he is a good fighter, and I would like to fight him.

“As for three, I think Murtazaliev. I think he is a good fighter. It is a fight that everyone wants to see. I read all the tweets and it is the one that was excited, and I am not one to avoid a fight. So, I think it’s also a very good fight.

Ortiz Jr. should put Jermell Charlo out of his mind and focus on what is possible. The fairy of the teeth will not deliver Jermell to him in summer. If Vergil Jr. will fight in summer, he will have to bite the ball and take the fight that Turki Alashikh offers him. If it’s Bakhram Murtazaliev, that’s what’s for him.
