Junior welterweight contender Jamaine Ortiz has signed a co-promotional deal with CES Boxing and Boxlab Promotions.

In his first fight under the new agreement, Ortiz (17-2-1, 8 KOs) will face Mexico’s Gilberto Espinoza (13-2, 8 KOs) in a 10-round main event on Boxlab’s “Night of Champions” on Nov. 1 at the Caribe Royale Hotel in Orlando, Florida (DAZN).

“I’ve always had big goals, and this partnership will help me reach them,” said Ortiz, who fights out of Worcester, Massachusetts. “My fight with Espinoza is going to showcase what I’ve been working on, and I’m going to shine on the international stage.”

Ortiz, who lost a tight decision to junior welterweight titleholder Teofimo Lopez Jr. in February, is eager to get back into title contention.

“My goal is to get back into a world title fight, and I know that with the support of CES and Boxlab, I can get there,” Ortiz said. “It all starts on Nov. 1 against a tough opponent in Espinoza, and I’m ready to put on a show for the fans and make my mark again.”
