Many fans are presuming that victory for Vergil Ortiz Jr<\/a> on Saturday night will tee up a highly-anticipated showdown with Jaron Ennis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ennis and Ortiz Jr have been continuously linked to a fight with one another in recent years and it was believed that the pair would soon settle the brewing rivalry.<\/a><\/p>\n

On Saturday night, Ortiz defends his WBC interim super-welterweight title against Erickson Lubin<\/a>, and \u2018Boots\u2019 and his promoter, Eddie Hearn, will be in attendance. Hearn has previously stated they have signed a deal on their side for the Ortiz fight to take place.<\/p>\n

As a result, it was presumed that an announcement for Ennis-Ortiz would be made shortly after the main event, providing the latter comes through a serious test in Lubin.<\/p>\n

However, Ortiz\u2019s trainer, Robert Garcia, informed Fight Hub TV<\/a> that he believes Ennis already has alternate plans for his next outing, despite all the talk.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s all bull**it, Boots is not going to fight Vergil next. He [Ennis] is going to show up. but why didn\u2019t they call us up and invite us to his fight two\/three weeks ago? He just fought recently, you come to ours, we come to yours and we promote the fight. That would\u2019ve been the perfect idea to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are going to show up, that doesn\u2019t make a difference, Vergil is going to do his job, but that\u2019s just to get the media and the press to believe that they are ready for the fight. I know they are not [ready]. I know that they already have a date and a possible opponent ready. It\u2019s all part of the show, part of promoting the event, part of promoting his fighter, and Eddie is doing a great job doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ortiz-Lubin takes place on Saturday night, supported by an undercard that features Darius Fulghum, Robin Sirwan Safar and Joshua Edwards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Many fans are presuming that victory for Vergil Ortiz Jr on Saturday night will tee up a highly-anticipated…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":253371,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-253370","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253370","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=253370"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/253370\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/253371"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=253370"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=253370"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=253370"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
