Vergil Ortiz Jr. is a yes man – he simply says yes to every opponent that is thrown his way.

The WBC interim title holder Ortiz is set to fight Israil Madrimov in a junior middleweight matchup on February 22 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on the undercard of the stacked event headlined by the undisputed light heavyweight title rematch between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol.

Ortiz was originally supposed to face Jaron Ennis, but the fight fell through after “Boots” opted to stay at 147 pounds for a title unification bout instead against Eimantas Stanionis.

Ortiz is coming off a Fight of the Year candidate and majority decision win against Serhii Bohachuk in August despite being dropped twice. Ortiz was originally supposed to face Tim Tszyu last summer but the Australian pulled out of their announced bout because his forehead gash was not healing in time.

Ortiz (22-0, 21 KOs) will be facing a familiar foe in Madrimov (10-1-1, 7 KOs), a former WBA 154-pound titleholder who is coming off a competitive unanimous decision loss to Terence Crawford in August.

The pair have sparred about 20 rounds throughout the years.

“It's very boring on my side. I just say yes to everyone. I don't care who it is [that I fight],” Ortiz said on DAZN’s “On the Ground” series. “We know each other well enough to not be hesitant in the first couple of rounds. It should be exciting from the get-go … Everyone knows it's going to be a hard fight. We don't even need to sell it. It's on the greatest boxing card of all time. It's the card of the century. There are going to be a lot of great fights that night.”

Other fights on the night include Daniel Dubois vs. Joseph Parker, Shakur Stevenson vs. Floyd Schofield Jr., Carlos Adames vs. Hamzah Sheeraz, and Zhilei Zhang vs. Agit Kabayel, among others.

The knockout artist Ortiz realizes he has the opportunity to steal the show and stamp his ticket to another sizable slugfest next time out.

“The storm is coming,” he said. “You can feel it in the air. So we have to train hard to make sure I come away with the win so I can keep fighting these guys. I have the WBC interim title so we can fight WBC/WBO champion Sebastian Fundora next. Our schedules have to line up.”

Turki Alalshikh, head of Riyadh Season and chairman of the General Entertainment Authority of Saudi Arabia, has also been keen to put Ortiz against Madrimov-conqueror Terence Crawford in recent months.

“I thought Crawford was going to win more decisively but Madrimov did a really good job of taking away what Crawford does best,” said Ortiz. “He had a lot of good feints. He was throwing a lot. I know Crawford was respecting his power because [Madrimov] does hit a little hard. The thing is, me and Crawford are two completely different fighters. Of course, I can study it but the thing is even if me and Crawford fought the same, [Madrimov is] going to go about it differently."
