VERGIL ORTIZ RETURNS THIS WEEKEND AT 154LBS

Prepare yourselves for an electrifying showdown as the undefeated knockout sensation, Vergil Ortiz, Jr. (19-0, 19 KOs), hailing from Grand Prairie, Texas, steps into the ring in a fresh weight class. His adversary in this epic clash is none other than Ghana's own Fredrick "General Okunka" Lawson (30-3, 22 KOs).

Mark your calendars for January 6, 2024, when these two titans collide in a 12-round super welterweight bout at The Theater at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas. The entire globe will be able to witness the spectacle, courtesy of the worldwide broadcast on DAZN.

Ortiz, boasting a flawless 100% knockout ratio, is on a mission to dominate the super welterweight division. The Texan powerhouse last graced the ring in August 2022, treating his hometown crowd to a thrilling match against Michael McKinson. That encounter not only entertained but also expanded Ortiz's boxing repertoire, culminating in a spectacular seventh-round knockout.

Since his debut in 2016, the 25-year-old has carved an exciting path through the boxing world, taking down formidable opponents like Antonio “Relentless” Orozco, Brad “King” Solomon, and Maurice “Mighty Mo” Hooker.

"I couldn't have asked for a better comeback than headlining my first card in Las Vegas after more than a year of inactivity," Ortiz exclaimed. "I'm highly motivated to deliver a sensational performance, reminding everyone that I'm still a force to be reckoned with."

On the other side of the ring, the resilient Fredrick Lawson, born in Accra, Ghana, has consistently proven his mettle as an underdog. Known for his ability to power through even the toughest opponents, Lawson's most recent triumph came in April 2023 on the DAZN undercard of Zepeda vs. Arboleda, where he defeated Estevan Villalobos via unanimous decision. Brace yourselves for a clash of titans that promises to captivate and thrill boxing enthusiasts worldwide.
