Former welterweight world champion Victor Ortiz and hard-hitting John Molina Jr. showed off their skills at a media workout at the Fortune Gym in Los Angeles as they prepare to face off Sunday, September 30 in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions on FS1 and FOX Deportes live from Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, California.

Victor Ortiz: “You have to keep that fire burning inside you to keep competing in this sport. You have to go in there 100 miles per hour. This is a sport and I’m going in there to destroy him, then we can go have lunch after…I have lots of respect for Molina, but this is still boxing. He’s in my way right now and I’m going to knock him out of the way.”

John Molina Jr: “Victor deserves my undivided attention and he has it. Especially for this fight. He is a big strong guy who hits hard for 147-pounds. I never pick the easy guy when I move up in weight. My first fight at 140 was Lucas Matthysse and I expect fireworks for this fight as well.”
