After struggling his first-ever defeat to Canelo Alvarez final September, tremendous middleweight Edgar Berlanga will kick off his 2025 marketing campaign in opposition to Jonathan Gonzalez-Ortiz on Matchroom’s March fifteenth “Ammo” Williams vs Patrice Volny present in Orlando.
Matchroom’s announcement Tweet highlights Gonzalez-Ortiz’s (20-0-1, 16 KO) undefeated document, however as you’ve in all probability guessed, there’s not a complete lot of substance to it. He was a stable novice who was working his approach up the ranks within the early 2010s, together with a draw with longtime tremendous welterweight titlist Serhiy Dzinziruk, however left the game in 2014.
Final yr, after a decade on the sidelines, he returned at middleweight with a pair of wins over 5-23 Jose Saint-Hilaire Gil and 14-5 Edward Ulloa Diaz. Stirring stuff.
Berlanga (22-1, 17 KO) remains to be no. 3 with the WBO, no. 6 with the WBC, and no. 4 with the WBA, so he shouldn’t be too removed from a serious struggle. Hopefully this doesn’t eat up an excessive amount of of his time.
