KO specialist Carlos Ortiz Cervantes aims to halt Callum Walsh's rapid ascent when they clash on July 7th. The Mexican fighter, set to face Freddie Roach's protege in the light middleweight division, poses a challenge for Walsh's unbeaten streak. Walsh, fresh from headlining a St. Patrick's Day event at Madison Square Garden's Theater, returns to the West Coast for his eleventh bout. As the main event on UFC Fight Pass, he will defend his WBC Continental Americas title against the seasoned 39-year-old at the Chumash Casino in Santa Ynez. While Ortiz may not boast the same pedigree as Ismael Villarreal or Dauren Yeleussinov, his 14 victories, all by knockout, signal his potential threat. Despite most of his wins occurring in Mexico and a mixed record outside his home country, Ortiz's recent three knockout triumphs hint at his capability to challenge the "fastest rising star" in boxing. He notably ended American Evan Anthony Sanchez's unbeaten streak, adding weight to his reputation as a formidable opponent.
