Jamaine Ortiz is in need of a new opponent for Aug. 23 at Caribe Royale in Orlando, Florida.

Steve Claggett is out of the bout with an injury. Ortiz (19-2-1, 9 KOs) was originally scheduled to defend his secondary WBA junior welterweight belt in a 10-round fight against Claggett (39-8-2, 27 KOs) on a Most Valuable Promotions card that’ll be headlined by Yankiel Rivera vs. Angelino Cordova on DAZN.

Ortiz is expected to stay on the card, as his promoter, BoxLab, is looking for a new opponent for the former title challenger.

“It's a curveball,” Ortiz told The Ring. “I think I'm a fighter that's great at adapting. I can adjust at any given moment. I think people are able to see that throughout my fights, how I adjust in any situation. I have a big amateur career where I face a lot of different opponents, not knowing who I'm going to fight until that same day and I always came out on top. I just fight how I fight. I don't worry about adjusting to my opposition. My opposition has to adjust to me.”

Ortiz, who is ranked No. 8 (IBF), No. 10 (WBA) and No. 11 (WBC/WBO) at junior welterweight, has won two straight fights since his loss to Teofimo Lopez for his WBO title in February 2024. In his last fight, Ortiz overcame a slow start to win a one-sided unanimous decision against Yomar Alamo on March 15 at Caribe Royale.
