Vergil Ortiz Jr. It aims to Xander Zayas, denies Erickson Lubin Rumors

Vergil Ortiz Jr. It denies the reports that an agreement between him and Erickson Lubin is completed on October 18 in the United States in Dazn. Ortiz Jr. that an offer was made to the 154 -pound Wbo -pound Zayas champion with a period of 17:00.

Zayas responded to Vergil Jr., saying that it is not a “Real Offer”. He says he would be interested in fighting him, but he would be in Puerto Rico.

It is questionable if the Zayas promoters in the first position would allow him to fight a fighter of pressure such as Vergil Jr. (23-0, 21 ko) because it would be a dramatic step from the last opponent, Jorge Garcia Perez, whom he fought for the vacant Middle Weight Title of Wbo last month on July 26.

Lubin is forced by Bakhram Murtazaliev, 154 -pound IBF champion. Why would I want to fight against Vergil Jr. For his temporary WBC belt when he could face Bakhram for his IBF belt?

This is not yet true if it is Lubin, who is the next cause of channel, the timeline is still until 17:00 today. It has the offer since Wednesday I believe. Idk as Ringmagazine can publish -if Xander has not completely rejected it. https://t.co/G7H6GPVTP4

It is unlikely that Zayas would like to fight against Vergil Ort Jr. In any country, because it would treat the pressure without stopping the whole struggle. Xander, 22, cannot punch and had enough trouble defeating Jorge Garcia last July.

Everything Zayas did in this struggle showed that he was pressured. This was against a defective opponent who seemed nothing like a contestant of the first 15 classified.

The WBO had Garcia ranked number 2 and Zayas #1 for its vacancy of 154 LB. It was the perfect situation for the score to capture the vacant Wbo belt, but it still seemed terrible with the whole movement and the fact that he did.

This agreement Golden Boy had for Zayas with a period of five in the afternoon today will not be accepted. Rumors that Xander defended his wbo title against heavy weight Young Santillan In December in Puerto Rico. This is a gift for Zayas.
