Remembering The Classic Wilder-Ortiz Heavyweight Slugfest
Boxing History

This week marks the eighth anniversary of a sensational heavyweight slugfest between two undefeated fighters: then-WBC champion Deontay Wilder defending the title against Luis Ortiz. Before an energetic crowd at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, Ortiz (28-0, 24 KOs) dominated the middle rounds, battering a wobbly Wilder (39-0, 38 Kos) against the ropes. However, Wilder's chin held firm until his signature right hand at 2:05 of the 10th forced the stoppage.
Logan Paul Claims $1.5M Remains Unpaid Since 2021
Financial Dispute

Logan Paul still hasn’t gotten paid. At least, that’s what Paul says regarding his exhibition bout against Floyd Mayweather back on June 6, 2021, at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami. Paul says the dispute dates back to Mayweather's $10 million pre-sale deal with a Middle East company to promote the fight, under which he was promised 50% after the loss, but claims $1.5 million remains unpaid five years later.

The claim surfaces as Mayweather, the undefeated boxing icon with an estimated net worth of over $400 million, plans three big 2026 fights: a tentative exhibition with Mike Tyson in Congo, one with Mike Zambidis in Athens, and a pro rematch against Manny Pacquiao in Las Vegas. While fans speculate about his finances amid past lawsuits and spending sprees, Mayweather's team insists the bouts keep him sharp, and he has not responded to the accusation.
Court Bars Vergil Ortiz Jr From Negotiating Deals
Legal Alert

U.S. District Judge Cristina D. Silva granted Golden Boy Promotions interim relief, barring Vergil Ortiz Jr. from negotiating or signing with other promoters until an arbitrator resolves the contract dispute. The ruling stems from Ortiz's three-year deal signed in May 2024, which he claimed ended when Golden Boy's DAZN agreement expired last December. The judge preserved the status quo. Oscar De La Hoya celebrated with a 'Justice prevails' post, while fans lamented the likely delay of the anticipated clash between the undefeated power punchers Ortiz (22-0) and Robert Ennis (31-0).
