    Default Luis Ortiz vs Charles Martin

    LUIS ORTIZ returns to the ring in a big heavyweight fight with fellow contender Charles Martin on New Year's Day.

    Ortiz hasn't been in the ring since the summer when he knocked out his opponent Alexander Flores in just one round.

    Before that, Ortiz lost via 7th-round KO to former heavyweight champ Deontay Wilder.


    Martin has fought six times since his world title loss to Anthony Joshua back in 2016, winning five of those bouts, including one against Gerald Washington on the Wilder-Fury 2 undercard.

    And now Ortiz and Martin clash for the chance to assert themselves into heavyweight title picture in 2022.

    Ortiz's big heavyweight clash with Charles Martin will take place on Saturday, January 1 2022

    The bout will be held at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.

    Luis Ortiz vs Charles Martin (12 rounds - heavyweight)
    Frank Sanchez vs Carlos Negron (10 rounds - heavyweight)
    Gerald Washington vs Ali Eren Demirezen (10 rounds - heavyweight)

    “I can’t wait to give my fans in South Florida a great show on New Year’s Day and earn another shot at the heavyweight title,” said Ortiz.

    “Charles Martin is a good fighter, but he’s standing in my way.

    "The only thing on my mind is getting in the ring and making a big statement in this fight to show again why the heavyweight division fears me.”

    “Nobody wants to fight me, and nobody wants to fight Ortiz, so we’ll fight each other,” said Martin.

    “I’m going to show the world on January 1 why I deserve a title shot. I’ve paid my dues, and I want my belt back. Beating Ortiz is going to get me one step closer to that goal.

    "To become a two-time heavyweight champion, I have to get past Ortiz first, so that’s exactly what I’m going to do.”

    Martin has been doing alright since completely folding v Joshua, I think he might beat an old Ortiz here, he's not becoming champion again though. This might be a fairly interesting one to watch.

    In my humble opinion, Charles Martin was very possibly the worst holder of a heavyweight belt in history. The way he folded and just seemed to throw in the towel against Joshua was shameful. Or crooked.

    As a former fighter myself, I hardly ever criticise the courage of anybody who steps into a competitive boxing ring - but I think I will make an exception for ‘Prince’ Charles Martin.

    Martin might catch Ortiz cold though …. Luis may be distracted by the fact that it is the anniversary of his debut in 404BC – when Saint Telemachus tried to stop his gladiatorial fight in a Roman amphitheatre, and was stoned to death by the crowd

    Charles Martin won the vacant belt against Glazkov who never fought again. This illustrates the poor quality of the division.

    I agree with X. Martin then put up a pathetic defence of his title against AJ. Anthony had a harder time getting in and out of the ring.

    Since then Martin has shown some spirit against Kownacki when he lost a hard fought decision and beating Washington.

    Martin should lose to Ortiz and it will be interesting to see what Luis has left.

    Well glazkov destroyed his knee in the fight v martin, just moving around, martin didn't even hit him to cause to it, glazkov semmed to be amazingly well connected though and was getting set up for an easy title win, he was l pretty small but not bad, he got a lucky decision win v USS Cunningham to become the mandatory..not saying that the division isn't poor but martins title win was more a demonstration of some guy knowing the right the people and then some bad luck and a terrible injury :S

    Martin did show some heart v the adult baby pole and has been showing his power and he's just a big guy so I'm think Ortiz who as x said previously fought in the colleseum of Rome will show his age and get stopped... Or more likely Ortiz who's just a better fighter smashes him...

    Martin by ko for me!

    This Frank Sanchez fight is shit. He went from beating Ajagba to fighting this guy? Step up Frank.... he could have gotten a better fight than that. imo...

    Half convinced they're hoping everyone is still hung over on New Years day by putting this on PPV. 4th one in what feels like 4 months and missed them all. Just not a great marketing strategy and Thurman v Barrios ppv also .

    Martin has scratched his way back but certainly not the #2 spot where ibf has him. In an odd way his "win" for the strap was worse than his showing with AJ. He didn't belong there in the first place and won it without landing a ko punch on Glazkov. Ortiz who knows really, all the tools for 101 yrs old but Martin comes off much sturdier now. Really Ortiz absent Wilder and maybe Jennings hasn't faced even this level. Good espn fight definitely not ppv.

    This ended up an entertaining fight between these 2 southpaw heavyweight challengers but just a sad state of boxing that they think this bout was actually worthy of a PPV event. The saturated PPV market of boxing on all these channels are seriously hurting boxing.

    Charles Martin scored a flash first-round knockdown with a looping left hand which landed on the back of Ortiz head. Martin was also down in the same round but that was correctly not ruled a knockdown as they tangled their feet.

    Martin was focused and sharp in most of the fight. Ortiz looked trim and controlled the pace of the fight which was relatively slow.

    Charles scored another knockdown in the 4th round with a jab as Ortiz came in and he started to look more confident as he was winning on the cards with the 2 knockdowns.

    The fight turned dramatically in the 6 round when Ortiz landed his own left-hand power shot that effectively knocked Martin unconscious whilst he was standing up unprotected. Ortiz followed up, as the ref did not stop the fight, rushing at a defenceless Martin and knocked him down. Charles glove got caught between the ropes and had to be untangled by the ref which gave him some time to recover.

    It was not enough however as Ortiz finished off Martin in same round as the ref finally stopped it with the second knockdown. Charles was shouting bullshit, complaining at the stoppage and stood in front of Ortiz who pushed him away.

    As I said, entertaining fight from the two.

    Ortiz back in the day was a very good, albeit cumbersome plodder, Over 42 years old now, for fucks sake.

    Martin is as generally pointless as the other ‘Prince Charles’

    Level 3 fighters, somehow getting a PPV deal. Wonder what the numbers of that were?

    These 2 guys aren’t even gatekeepers!

    the viktor vykhryst fight was fire but stopped early. luis & charles should both fuck off
    It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
