Vergil Ortiz Jr. and Golden Boy settle court disputes to revive plans

Summary

Vergil Ortiz Jr. and Golden Boy Promotions announced on July 17, 2026, that they have settled their ongoing legal disputes. The resolution allows Ortiz to continue his relationship with Golden Boy, which had been strained over contract issues and negotiations for a fight against Jaron 'Boots' Ennis. Ortiz had previously sought a court declaration of free agency after Golden Boy’s television deal with DAZN expired. The new agreement paves the way for Ortiz to pursue this highly anticipated match in the coming months, potentially reigniting his boxing career after not fighting since November 2025.
