Unbeaten welterweight contender Vergil Ortiz Jr. says he would like a world title shot against WBA 147-lb champion Yordenis Ugas next.

With Ortiz’s WBA Gold welterweight title, he feels that he deserves a title shot against Ugas (27-4, 12 KOs) and he doesn’t want to keep waiting.

Ugas would likely prefer a big money fight with WBO 147-lb champion Terence Crawford or IBF/WBC champion Errol Spence Jr. rather than facing the dangerous Ortiz.

Gennadiy ‘GGG’ Golovkin’s ex-trainer Abel Sanchez says Canelo Alvarez doesn’t need a fight with GGG at this point in his career. Golovkin had two chances to beat Canelo in 2017 and 2018, and he failed both times by fighting too passively.

The former four-division world champion Canelo (56-1-2, 38 KOs) wants to cement his legacy, and he has four or more fighters in front of him that he’s interested in facing says, Sanchez.

Anthony Joshua is ready to walk away from his rematch with Oleksandr Usyk to take on the winner of the October 9th fight between WBC heavyweight champion Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder.

Joshua (24-2, 22 KOs) would face the Fury vs. Wilder 3 winner without a world title, fresh off his loss to Oleksandr Usyk last Saturday night.
