Vergil Ortiz Jr. Explains the Wbo Chander Zayas champion, claiming that he was endowed a title while fighting for the best

Vergil Ortiz Jr. He said goodbye to social media on Wbo Junior Middleweight, Xander Zayas, after being labeled and dismissed as “27-year perspective.” Ortiz Jr. (23-0, 21 kos) reacted by saying that he “struggled the higher competition compared to a champion, Zayas, who was” endowed with a title and has not fought anyone. “

Xander (22-0, 13 kos) told Ring Magazine why he felt he did not need to fight Vergil JR, saying that in the past he had been told, “Talk to me when he became a champion.” He says he is now the 154 lb Wbo door -cturon, who will say the same to WBC Interim Junior Midderweight Ortiz Jr., who has not yet won a world title.

A “endowed” champion path

The first rank used his experience to lead the 22 -year -old Xander Zayas, born in Puerto Rico, the title of Wbo, with his combination, first aligning a title eliminator against the little known Slawa Spomer earlier this year on February 14, and then in a fight against Jorge Garcia Perez’s number 2 for the average title of Wbo Junior Middle on July 26. Zayas won both fights to become the new WBO champion.
