Luis Ortiz vs. Alexander Ustinov was scheduled to take place on the undercard of Canelo-Smith on September 17 in Dallas. Apparently, that fight is now off.
Luis Ortiz has pulled out of the fight after agreeing to terms. It was said last week that he was holding out for more money.
“We are extremely disappointed to hear that despite agreeing terms, signing a contract and announcing a date for the WBA Interim Heavyweight Championship that Luis Ortiz is refusing to honor the agreement to fight on the 17th September and has withdrawn,” stated Ustinov’s promoter Vlad Hrunov.
“Golden Boy Promotions have acted with integrity and in good faith and I hear that Ortiz is now negotiating a termination of his contract with Golden Boy.”
