Vergil Ortiz Jr • 2022 UD Goodwin Champions Platinum Rainbow P4 NM+ WBO WBA WBC

Description: •••• THE CARD: 2022 Upper Deck Goodwin Champions Platinum Rainbow # P4, in Near Mint+ condition. •••• THE FIGHTER: VERGIL ORTIZ Jr. is the son of boxer Vergil Ortiz. Junior's amateur career was epic: 140 victories, 7 national championships, 3 gold medals in the Silver Gloves tournaments, a gold medal at the 2013 Junior Olympics, then a silver medal at Salt Lake City's 2016 Olympic Games. He became the WBA Gold Welterweight champion in 2019 and was named Prospect of the Year. After the slowdown due to Covid-19, Ortiz fought for and won the interim WBO International Welterweight title in 2021. •••• THE CHAMPION: Last month, Ortiz Jr. defeated Serhii Bohachuk to become the new WBC Super Welterweight Champion. Ortiz was knocked down for the first time in his professional boxing career but won the the majority decision, bringing his pro record to 22-0. Every previous opponent, he'd knocked out. The decision is still a hot topic. Despite the victory, he's still ranked by The Ring as 4th in the world among Super Welterweights, and by ESPN as the #4 Junior Middleweight. •••• THE FUTURE: Ortiz Jr. is represented by Oscar de la Hoya, and has his sights on the #1-ranked fighter, the holder of three titles, fellow undefeated American Super Welterweight, Terence Crawford. Crawford is ten years Ortiz's senior with a 41-0 record. Both boxers are coming off of non-highlight reel bouts, so it's likely that each will face another opponent before they're ready to touch gloves for an inevitable PPV bout.
