What is Premier Boxing Champions Pay-Per-View: Ruiz vs Ortiz?
Premier Boxing Champions has announced that it will hold a pay-per-view event featuring a heavyweight bout between former World Boxing Association (WBA) heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz Jr. and Cuban contender Luis Ortiz. The event is set to take place on Saturday, October 22, 2023, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Both fighters will enter the ring with plenty to prove. Ruiz, who became the first Mexican heavyweight champion in boxing history when he defeated Anthony Joshua in 2019, hopes to rebound from his recent loss to Chris Arreola in May 2022. Meanwhile, Ortiz will be looking to continue his impressive string of victories, having won his last four fights, including a unanimous decision against Alexander Flores in February 2022.
The fight between Ruiz and Ortiz promises to be a thrilling encounter, with both fighters renowned for their punching power and technical skills. Ruiz is known for his quick hands and crushing left hook, while Ortiz boasts a fearsome right hook and an ability to maneuver around the ring with surprising agility for a heavyweight.
The undercard for the event will feature several exciting fights, including hard-hitting middleweight contender Jermall Charlo, who will defend his World Boxing Council (WBC) title against an as-yet unnamed opponent. In addition, IBF light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev is set to square off against WBC and WBO titleholder Dmitry Bivol in a unification bout.
Premier Boxing Champions CEO Al Haymon expressed his excitement about the event, stating that "Ruiz vs Ortiz promises to be a fight for the ages, with two of the sport's most exciting heavyweights going head-to-head in the ring. We are thrilled to be bringing this fight to fans around the world on pay-per-view, and we can't wait to see what happens when these two warriors step into the ring."
