Luis Ortiz Threatens Legal Action if Anthony Joshua is Not Next!
By Ryan Burton
Unbeaten number #1 heavyweight contender Luis "King King" Ortiz is chomping at the bit to get in the ring with WBA/IBF/IBO heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
On April 29th Joshua climbed off the canvas to stop Wladimir Klitschko in 11 rounds in one of the most exciting heavyweight title fights of the past decade.
After the fight, Ortiz spoke exclusively to BoxingScene.com to remind the Brit that the WBA mandated him to face him in his next fight.
"I congratulate the young man for courage but I'm next and that is that. Look, my team let that fight happen because the WBA and Eddie Hearn asked us for a favor and because Klitschko didn't want to fight me but I'm done being pushed back. It's my time and I want my WBA belt so yeah I'm calling Joshua out. If he likes he can just give up the belt but if not then October or November sounds good to me so it's your move boy. To be he best you have to fight the best," Ortiz had previously told BoxingScene.com.
Just before the Klitschko fight the WBA changed course and stated that they may grant the winner of the fight a "special permit" to make one more voluntary defense before facing Ortiz. Joshua also has an IBF mandatory due against Kubrat Pulev which muddles the situation even more.
After stopping Klitschko, Joshua mentioning giving Klitschko a rematch and also facing Tyson Fury. Klitschko, who has the right to a contractually negotiated rematch, has yet to say if he plans to exercise it.
The 38-year-old Ortiz is obviously not a happy camper with the whole situation and after stepping side to allow Joshua-Klitschko to go through, is threatening legal action if his next fight isn't for the WBA title.
"I'm ready for the biggest fight of my life and it's not with regular opponents but with no other than the world ranking of the WBA. Look, if they think I'm going to fold they must be smoking some good sh*t. I've come too far. I've struggled too much in my life and starved one too many times in Cuba as a kid, eating only bread and water to stop now. I endured too much having to cross the dangerous waters of the Gulf to make it to the US for freedom for me and my sick little girl to now get bullied by anyone," Ortiz told BoxingScene.com.
"Look, boxing is a sport not just a business and it's not fair to me if they allow Joshua to get special treatment because someone is dishing out money. My team convinced me to let the WBA move on with the resolution because of lawsuits that were coming at (WBA President) Mendoza so I agreed on the WBA terms so they told the world and me that I was next no matter what the IBF was asking. Remember, I was the interim champ. The only reason for not fighting Ustinov was they didn't want to drug test and that was in the bylaws of WBA so I was cleared by my attorneys. All I want is to be treated fair. I'm not asking for what's not mine."
This fight needs to go ahead and happen!!!

De La Hoya: Mayweather Should Face The Canelo-Golovkin Winner
By Keith Idec
Oscar De La Hoya offered Floyd Mayweather Jr. some advice Tuesday.
“The Golden Boy” thinks Mayweather should forget about a meaningless matchup with MMA superstar Conor McGregor and come out of retirement to fight the winner of the Canelo Alvarez-Gennady Golovkin fight September 16. Mayweather wants to fight McGregor in a boxing match because it’s a very low-risk/extremely high-reward proposition for which he would make more than $100 million.
“Even Floyd, after this fight with Canelo and Golovkin, forget about ‘The Notorious One,’ Conor McGregor,” De La Hoya told ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith and Max Kellerman on “First Take” while discussing the Alvarez-Golovkin fight Tuesday. “Forget about a fighter who has zero experience, who has zero fights, who has zero amateur experience. Forget about that.
“Mayweather’s better than that. Mayweather, look, if you wanna fight and have a rematch against Canelo or a fight against Golovkin, go after them. You know, after Canelo and Golovkin fight, go after the winner.”
The 40-year-old Mayweather (49-0, 26 KOs) retired following his easy unanimous-decision victory over Andre Berto (31-5, 24 KOs) in September 2015 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. Two years earlier, he beat Alvarez by majority decision in a 12-round fight Mayweather won convincingly at MGM Grand.
The 26-year-old Alvarez (49-1-1, 34 KOs) has improved since losing to Mayweather, the only fighter to defeat him during his 11½-year pro career. They fought at a catch weight of 152 pounds, two below the junior middleweight limit at which Alvarez competed at the time.
An Alvarez-Mayweather rematch would do huge business, particularly if Alvarez entered it coming off a win against Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs). The inordinately wealthy Mayweather hasn’t displayed a genuine inclination to return, however, other than for what would be a heavily hyped mismatch against Ireland’s McGregor, who has never competed in an amateur or professional boxing match.
If Golovkin beats Alvarez, it’s highly unlikely Mayweather would consider coming out of retirement to fight the Kazkh knockout artist. The 35-year-old Golovkin has fought exclusively at middleweight during his 11-year pro career and Mayweather is a natural welterweight who has boxed above that threshold only for junior middleweight showdowns with Alvarez, Miguel Cotto and De La Hoya.

yeah mayweather needs to just leave well alone.....
but on the other hand, rather than retire and take a step back, he stay talking like he's still the head honcho and runs tings, so he's only got himself to blame for being called out
