Rising knockout artist Vergil Ortiz Jr. (13-0, 13 KOs) will return to his hometown of Grand Prairie, Texas to face former world title challenger Antonio "Relentless" Orozco (28-1, 17 KOs) in a 10-round main event in the welterweight division. (photos by Stacy Verbeek, Tom Hogan/Hogan Photos).

The event will take place on Saturday, Aug. 10 at The Theatre at Grand Prairie in Texas and will be streamed live on DAZN.

Since debuting as a professional in 2016, Ortiz Jr. has never heard the final bell of a fight, and it doesn't look like he'll be hearing it anytime soon. Ortiz Jr., who has his roots in Michoacan, Mexico, will return after a stunning third-round knockout victory against Mauricio "El Maestro" Herrera in the co-main event of Canelo vs. Jacobs. Ortiz Jr. is excited to headline in his hometown for the very first time.
