Ortiz to make quick first defense of WBA title
Looks like WBA “interim” heavyweight champion Luis “The Real King Kong” Ortiz (23-0, 20 KOs) will defend his world title against Bryant “By-By” Jennings (19-1, 10 KOs) on December 19 at the Turning Stone Resort in Verona, NY. Ortiz will be making the first defense of his WBA world championship belt just two months after winning it via three round KO against overmatched Matias Ariel Vidondo last Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. Jennings’ last fight was a decision loss to Wladimir Klitschko, who holds the IBF and WBO titles, plus the “super” version of the WBA world championship. HBO will televise.
