| Ortiz's Boxing Future Uncertain After Judge's Ruling | 03 Mar 2026 | 00:01:50 | |
Nevada Judge Rules in Favor of Golden Boy Promotions in Vergil Ortiz Jr. Contract Dispute A Nevada judge has sided with Golden Boy Promotions in their legal battle with boxer Vergil Ortiz Jr., ordering arbitration over a contract dispute and blocking Ortiz from signing with other promoters until its resolved. The decision comes after Ortiz attempted to lift a temporary restraining order, which was denied. The core issue centers around Ortizs promotional agreement with Golden Boy, which Ortiz claims ended when Golden Boys output deal with DAZN expired last December. However, the judge focused on the contract language, noting that a distribution relationship still exists due to recent fight cards and ongoing talks. Boxing fans hoping for a matchup between Ortiz and Jaron Boots Ennis will have to wait, as Matchroom Boxing, Enniss promoter, had a three-fight deal worth millions on the table, including that matchup. Instead, Ennis, with a perfect thirty-five win record, must now pivot. Golden Boy pointed to events like their January sixteenth card and an upcoming March fourteenth show on DAZN as proof that the ties havent fully broken. Even DAZNs top exec confirmed theyre open to a new long-term deal, which undercuts Ortizs side. Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn says if Ortiz isnt available, theyll target Xander Zayas next, or even Josh Kelly, the new IBF champ. The case is paused for arbitration, with a court update due by September second, twenty twenty-six, or sooner if resolved.
