Virgil Ortiz returns with an early victory!

On the night of January 6-7 in Las Vegas, USA, American Virgil Ortiz (20-0, 20 KOs) made a comeback after a hiatus of over a year. The bout against Frederik Lawson (30-4, 22 KOs) concluded prematurely in the first round. Following several powerful hits, referee Tony Weeks stopped the confrontation, surprising both fans and Lawson's corner. This win marks Ortiz's debut in the welterweight division (up to 69.9 kg) after facing health issues last year while attempting to drop weight to the super lightweight limit (up to 66.67 kg).
