WBA Cruiserweight champion is the latest beltholder to enter the World Boxing Super Series, according to Dan Rafael of espn.com.
Earlier this month, the first three cruiserweight entrants were announced: world titleholders Murat Gassiev (24-0, 17 KOs) and Mairis Briedis (22-0, 18 KOs) as well as former titleholder Krzysztof Wlodarczyk (53-3-1, 37 KOs).
“I love the idea of the elimination tournament,” Dorticos said. “It will be a hell of a ride, but I will come out on top. After the World Boxing Super Series, the whole world will know my name. I can’t wait to add the WBC and IBF belts to my collection. I will enter the tournament with one belt and leave it with three.
“On top of that, I will take home the Muhammad Ali Trophy and a lot of money. Really it does not get any better than this, not for the fans and certainly not for us fighters.”
“Right now, we have got three undefeated cruiserweight world champions plus a top-ranked contender who is a former world champion,” Richard Schaefer said. “There are four more spots to be filled in the cruiserweight competition. We will make sure they will be exciting names and fighters the fans want to see.
