Vasyl Lomachenko will be looking to continue his rise to the world title when he takes on Jamaine Ortiz at Madison Square Garden in late October.
Lomachenko lost to Teofimo Lopez in 2020 but has since bounced back with wins over Masayoshi Nakatani and Richard Commey.
“The Matrix” was one of the best in the business prior to his loss to Lopez and is a former world champion in three weight classes.
He is now eager to get another title shot as soon as possible and has to deal with Ortiz.
The American is undefeated in his career so far and beat Jamel Herring last time out.
