On October 29 in New York (USA) at the Madison Square Garden arena a boxing evening will take place, the main event of which will be a fight between Ukrainian lightweight Vasily Lomachenko (16-2; 11 KOs) and American Jemaine Ortiz (16-0-1; 8 KOs) .
Promotional company TOP Rank published an incendiary promo video of the fight:
Ortiz holds the IBF USBA and NABF regional belts. He only had two 10-round bouts in his career (both won by points in 2022), and the rest consisted of fewer three-minute bouts.
The 34-year-old Lomachenko won by TKO over Japan's Masayoshi Nakatani in June 2021, covering a loss to Teofimo Lopez, and then defeated Richard Commey of Ghana in December 2021 on points. Before the fight with Ortiz, Vasyl did not fight in 2022.
