VERGIL ORTIZ, JR. PULLS OUT OF FIGHT AGAINST MICHAEL MCKINSON
ORTIZ, JR. DIAGNOSED WITH RHABDOMYOLYSIS AND IS ADMITTED INTO THE HOSPITAL
LOS ANGELES, CA (March 15, 2022) – Unfortunately, Vergil Ortiz Jr. has had to pull out of this Saturday’s main event vs. Michael Mckinson after being diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis. Vergil is recovering well in hospital and is expected to make a full recovery.
“We wish Vergil a very quick and speedy recovery,” said Oscar De La Hoya, Chairman and CEO of Golden Boy. “As fighters, our first instinct is to fight whatever we have and tough it out. It takes a lot of courage to admit that something is wrong and get the care that you need. We are confident that we will be seeing Vergil in the ring again very soon.”
More information on the March 19 event will be announced shortly.
