(MAR 13) WBAN has received a press
release today from Rizing Starz, LLC, of Poplar Bluff, MO, stating
the following: "We have unfortunately received word that Jayla
Ortiz has withdrawn from the scheduled title fight with Jeri "Fist
of Fury" Sitzes scheduled for this Friday at Florentine Gardens in
El Monte, California. Jayla's people have stated that she is
currently suffering a concussion and can not fight. We are working
on verifying that the medical has been filed with the commission.
Team Sitzes is so disappointed, this would have been a good match.
Jeri is ready to step in the ring, we just need to find someone
willing to step in with her!"
On March 9th, this was originally
reported on Inside Women's Boxing (Chris Cozzone), and it was stated
at that time, that Jayla Ortiz had pulled out (Mar 9th), due to an
injury, and that Ortiz was taken to an emergency room in Santa Fe
the night before, and was released in the morning, upon verification
that Ortiz had suffered a concussion.
