Boxing Challenge

      The boxing weekend starts early with two main events on Friday.

DAZN will be in Orlando, Florida Friday night for the return of junior welterweight contender Jamaine Ortiz, who fights for the first time since his close decision loss to Teofimo Lopez in February.

Ortiz fought well in his only two losses to Lopez and Vasyl Lomachenko and has several wins over the second-level of contenders such as former champion Jamel Herring, Sulaiman Segawa, and Nahir Albright.

Ortiz will face journeyman Cristian Mino, who appears badly overmatched with nine losses and six of those by stoppage, so the stage is set for an impressive return for Ortiz.

Early Friday afternoon, ProBox TV starts an affiliation with Conlan promotions with a card from Belfast, Northern Ireland.

The main event pits Robbie Davies, a long-time veteran of the European level, against former title contender Javier Fortuna in a crossroads fight with career implications for the loser.

Davies has lost his last two fights to former junior lightweight champion Sergey Lipinets and Darragh Foley while Fortuna has fought only once since being stopped by Ryan Garcia in July 2022.

If both fighters haven't slipped too much, Fortuna is the better fighter but who knows which fighter has the most remaining.
