It's a special edition of the "Fight Freaks Unite Podcast" for this week, as our insider Dan Rafael has scored an interview with top welterweight contender, unbeaten Vergil Ortiz.

In this one on one conversation, Dan and Vergil discuss his health problems that have limited Ortiz to just one fight in the last two and a half years. This includes the rare blood disorder, which has cancelled two fights of hs and is jeopardizing his career. And, Vergil is now set to begin fighting at junior middleweight.

Ortiz who is 19-0 with 19 KOS is scheduled to be back this weekend in a Golden Boy Promotions/DAZN main event from Las Vegas against Fredrick Lawson in a 12 rounder. And, Vergil also discusses how all of the doubts about him being able to fully return are being used as motivation for this one.
