Negotiations on Bakhram Murtazaliev vs. Vergil Ortiz Jr.: IBF Title Fight depends on Financial Agreement

There are talks between the IBF junior average weight champion Bakhram Murtazaliev and Vergil Ortiz Jr. The negotiations are still ongoing, but they are not “close” to the financial side of the discussion.

Financial difference

And Rafael Broke the news About Murtazaliev-Organ Jr. He says money at the Golden Boy Promotions/Vergil Ortiz Jr. not close. This is not surprising, as Ortiz JR (23-0, 21 Kos) is the best fighter for both.

If the fight is happening, it will be interesting to see what approach Vergil the latest is choosing because Murtzaliev is dangerous with both hands, and he is not someone who can get on the road Ortiz Jr. tends to fight.

Bakhrams (23-0, 17 Kos) has attracted fans’ attention with his third-round victory over the former WBO 154 pound champion Tim tszyu October 19 last year Caribe Royal Orlando, Florida. Murtazaiev threw tszyu in the second and once in the third to get a slaughter.

Brave persecution

Vergill’s youngest had recently invited champions Sebastian Fundora and Terence Crawford, but without success. For him, the realistic variant is Murtazaliev, and it is brave that he chooses this path. This is the only choice, but there is no guarantee that Fundora or Crawford will ever fight for him.

Ortiz Jr, 26, comes from a twelve -round unanimous decision over the former WBA junior average weight champion Israil madrimov About Arthur Beterbijev’s Submarts against Dmitty Bivol 2 22 in Riyadh. Vergill’s latest surpassed Madrimov more impressive than Terence Crawford last summer was August 3.

Ortiz JR used pressure to wear Madrimov and dominate the second half of their competition. This approach will be risky for the Vergil JR to be used against Murtazalev, as he does not intend to move around the way Madrimov did. He will stand and fight.

In the Vergilla battle before, he defeated WBC’s temporary 154 pound champion Serhii Bohachuk with a 12 round majority decision on August 10. This fight was much closer than his victory over Madrimov. However, he clearly won in both battles, but accepted a lot of penalties.
