Vergil Ortiz Jr. plans to stay at 147lbs

Vergil Ortiz Jr. has stated his plans to remain at 147, at least for now. The undefeated fighter expressed an interest in remaining at his current weight until he gets a title. From there, it's all about the opportunities that present themselves.

Ortiz Jr. spoke with BoxingScene and stated:

"If I have to wait for that second belt as long as I did to get the first belt, then I'll probably be like, 'F*** this, I'm moving up.' If I get another crack at another title soon after I win my first belt, then I'll stick around for that. But I'm staying at welterweight until I get that first title. I want to be clear about that."
