Ortiz Targeting Spence? De La Hoya Reveals Plans for Vergil

Golden Boy Promotions head Oscar De La Hoya has shed light on what's next for rising star and interim WBC super welterweight champion Vergil Ortiz.

"Vergil just came through two grueling fights — the kind that can wear on both body and mind.

I’m thinking of bringing him back home, staging a fight in Dallas against a top-10 opponent. Then we’d look to Fundora, and after that, Crawford — once he returns to the division following his bout with Canelo at super middleweight.

There are so many exciting options for Ortiz. I’m thrilled. Just imagine — Vergil Ortiz vs. Errol Spence at Cowboys Stadium in Dallas. That would be a sellout. I think that’s a fight we should definitely consider," said De La Hoya.

Ortiz’s last two wins came against Serhii Bohachuk and Israil Madrimov, further solidifying his position as a top contender in the division.
