Former welterweight beltholder Victor Ortiz has some explaining to do before the Nevada State Athletic Commission on Wednesday.
As a result of admitting that he tried to break the nose of Floyd Mayweather Jr. during September’s fourth-round knockout loss at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Ortiz’s Nevada license is on hold until after the session, even as he is scheduled for a Showtime-televised Feb. 11 rematch with Andre Berto.
Nevada commission executive director, Keith Kizer, originally informed Lance Pugmire of the Los Angeles Times late last month that Ortiz must appear before the NSAC and explain the “nose-breaking comments” he made during an interview with Radio Rahim of MaxBoxing.com.
