It has been learned that Nevada District Judge Cristina Silva issued a ruling earlier this week granting Golden Boy Promotions the opportunity to request arbitration in its legal situation against Virgil Ortiz Jr.
Information from the Nevada district court indicates that Virgil Ortiz Jr. and his manager, Rick Mirigian, cannot negotiate or seek contracts for future fights until the legal dispute between the parties is resolved.
Virgil Ortiz Jr., along with Matchroom Boxing and DAZN, is scheduled to face world champion Jaron Ennis in 2026. At the beginning of 2026, Ortiz's legal team filed a lawsuit against Golden Boy Promotions, but now Golden Boy Promotions has obtained a temporary restraining order preventing Virgil Ortiz Jr. from working with other boxing promoters.
Virgil Ortiz Jr. had a three-year contract with Golden Boy that was set to expire in May 2024, but one of its main repercussions was whether Golden Boy Promotions would continue its television deal with DAZN.
