The Life of Victor Ortiz

‘Vicious’ Ortiz has been reportedly linked with several women in his life. The list includes Vanessa Bryant, the celebrity wife of Late NBA Star Kobe Bryant. According to reports, Ortiz supposedly dated Kobe Bryant’s wife for a brief period when the couple had a tough time in their relationship. However, all the rumors died when Kobe Bryant and Vanessa Bryant returned stronger to become a family.

In 2013, Ortiz was also linked with his Dancing With the Stars partner Lindsay Arnold. The rumored couple made several headlines during the reality show. However, the news faded away once they were out of the screens.

Meanwhile, Ortiz appears to have had the most serious time with his partner Deborah Mather, with whom he has a son. As the former world champion has been secretive about his relationship with Deborah, it’s not clear whether the couple is married.

Hence, Ortiz’s romantic life remains under a shield. But his boxing career, which is no less than a cinematic thriller, is all open to the fans.

‘Vicious’ Ortiz fought last in 2018 before hanging his gloves. However, he returns in a few hours on the undercard of Manny Pacquiao vs Yordenis Ugas at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The former champion will take on Robert Guerrero, another veteran with a three-fight win streak on board.
