Vergil Ortiz Jr. teed up a 2026 banner year - and a likely super-bout with Jaron 'Boots' Ennis - as he dispatched Erickson Lubin inside two rounds on Saturday night.
The Texan returned to a hero's welcome in Fort Worth and made quick work of his opponent at the Dickies Arena to underline his credentials as a premier operator.
As WBC interim super welterweight champion, the star is sure to push on for a major title next year, with Sebastian Fundora the current outright title holder above him.
But the chance of a legacy-defining bout with Ennis, who stepped into the ring for a face-off afterwards, appears to be foremost in Ortiz's mind as he looks forward.
