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

Steve Claggett is out of the bout due to an injury. Ortiz (19-2-1, 9 KOs) was originally scheduled to defend his secondary WBA junior welterweight title 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 by the IBF, No. 10 by the WBA and No. 11 by the WBC and 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 the Caribe Royale.
