Synopsis

Undefeated heavyweight contender Luis ‘King Kong’ Ortiz (25-0, 22 KOs) faces Malik Scott (38-2-1, 13 KOs) in an important fight on Sky Sports and HBO Boxing in Monte Carlo. The fight has high stakes for Ortiz, because a win against Scott will move him within striking distance of a title fight against fellow Matchroom fighter IBF heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (17-0, 17 KOs) in 2017.
