Lineal heavyweight champion Tyson Fury commands tremendous attention from boxing fans, but these days for all the wrong reasons -- the drug, alcohol and mental health issues that caused him to vacate his alphabet titles last month.Former champion Wladimir Klitschko also receives enormous attention, which is no surprise given that he was world champion for nearly 10 years before losing his belts in a big upset to Fury last November.Titleholders Deontay Wilder and Anthony Joshua also have plenty of the spotlight, and for good reason: They are both charismatic knockout artists with big fan bases who also talk a good game.And then there is the 6-foot-4, 240-pound powerhouse Luis King Kong Ortiz, perhaps the best of all the big men but a guy who receives a fraction of the limelight of the others. He certainly appears to be the most feared fighter in the division because none of the other top big men dare mention his name.So Ortiz is willing to keep smashing his way through those who will face him as he plows his way to the glory he aspires to obtain.I want to fight the very best and I want to be the heavyweight champion of the world, Ortiz said. Im willing to fight anyone, any champion, any place, any time. Im ready for anyone: Joshua, Wilder, Klitschko. I know I can beat all of them.Ortizs signature victory came 11 months ago when he crushed former world title challenger and quality contender Bryant Jennings for a seventh-round knockout. He followed that victory with a punishing knockout of former two-time title challenger Tony Thompson in March.But difficulties getting other name opponents and issues with promoter Golden Boy led to his team buying out the promotional contract for $1.1 million. A talent such as Ortiz (25-0, 22 KOs) was unlikely to be on his own for long, and six weeks after the split from Golden Boy he signed with Matchroom Boxings Eddie Hearn, the No. 1 promoter in the United Kingdom.Hearn is not one to get involved with fighters who are not from the United Kingdom, but signing Ortiz was too enticing and he made an exception.Luis Ortiz is one of the most exciting heavyweights in the world, and I am delighted to be working with him, Hearn said upon signing him a month ago. We plan to keep him very busy and let the fans enjoy his devastating power. Luis is an avoided fighter, but we plan on giving him the profile that will make that impossible.Even Ortiz was surprised how quickly he landed a new deal.I always had faith in my manager and friend, Jay Jimenez, but I never expected this fast turnaround and Im so excited about the future, he said. God has been great to me and my family. Im ready.Hearns plan to raise Ortizs profile begins Saturday when he takes on heavy underdog Malik Scott at the Salle des Etoiles in Monte Carlo (HBO, 4 p.m. ET/PT with an evening replay at 11 p.m. ET/PT) .As long as Ortiz, who recently was stripped of an interim world title for taking the fight with Scott rather than making a mandatory defense against Alexander Ustinov, wins and comes out of the fight with a clean bill of health, Hearn has him scheduled for the undercard of his biggest stars next fight. Ortiz, who was a standout on the Cuban national team as an amateur before defecting, is scheduled to return on Dec. 10 on the undercard of Joshuas defense against Eric Molina at Manchester Arena in Manchester, England.Im going to be very busy over the next few months and looking forward to boxing in many countries as we continue my journey to the heavyweight world championship, Ortiz said. I am a very experienced fighter. I have had the best boxing education with more than 350 [amateur and pro] fights under my belt. I believe I have the ability to adjust to any fighter and any style. That was evident in my fights with Jennings and Thompson.I am very proud of myself. Im also very proud how I am bringing Cuba back into the minds of all boxing fans. Cuba is one of the most accomplished countries in terms of boxing. The style and speed and all the things we have, they are taught to us at a very young age. This is what makes us great boxers.Even though Ortiz, a southpaw, is 37, he believes he is in his prime.I feel I have been at my peak for many years now, he said. I have simply been late [arriving] on the U.S. heavyweight boxing scene. I have been fighting since I was in elementary school. Boxing is a very, very deep passion of mine.Now, it is a way to give my family a better future, and I tell you, no one will stand in my way of accomplishing this. In my eyes, I am the heavyweight champion of the world, and if anyone, any other champion, is willing to challenge me, to face me, I can and will prove it.Scott (38-2-1, 13 KOs), 36, of Philadelphia, has never quite lived up to his potential. He was in many mind-numbingly boring fights and got whacked out in the first round by Wilder in 2014 in a fight in which many thought Scott gave less than his best effort. But he is willing to fight Ortiz and has won two fights in a row against decent opposition in former world title challengers Alex Leapai (on Leapais turf in Australia) and Thompson.This is the fight I wanted -- I picked him, Scott said. I told my promoter, Tom Brown, one of the three -- Anthony Joshua, David Haye or Luis Ortiz. After Ortiz beat Bryant Jennings, the media started talking about his invincibility and that he was the most feared heavyweight, and I immediately wanted to fight him. Theres no such thing as unbeatable and I welcome the challenge to prove it.If Im on my game on [Saturday], Ill shut him out. Hes going to gas out early and Ill put on a boxing clinic. Ortiz is my pathway towards a world title opportunity -- this is my time to shine and slay King Kong. Because of his reputation, this fight will get a lot of international attention and Ill be looking for full credit when I beat him -- no excuses.Ortiz simply wants to get rid of Scott and move on to bigger and better fights.I do have a lot of respect for the heavyweight champions. They have accomplished a lot and have sacrificed a lot to be where they are. They do deserve recognition, Ortiz said. I just want the chance to beat them and be [seen by all as] the next true heavyweight champion.I think Fury was able to shake up the heavyweight division, and because of him, the division is now one of the most exciting divisions to watch. I just want to get the opportunity to face him, or Wilder, to prove I am a champion as well.Salomon Schuhe Günstig Kaufen . -- Ryan Getzlaf grabbed the three pucks wrapped in tape and held them up to his chest in the Anaheim Ducks dressing room for a celebration nine seasons in the making.

Reigning world champion Eve Muirhead of Scotland opened with a 12-2 rout of Winnipegs Jennifer Jones in a battle of teams bound for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.LOS ANGELES -- Just three weeks ago, the Buffalo Bills were 0-2 and Rex Ryan appeared to be headed directly for trouble.Ryan and his Bills emerged from the Coliseum on Sunday with their first three-game winning streak in a half-decade and every reason to think this once-problematic season can be memorable.With their 30-19 victory over the Rams, the Bills (3-2) kept pace in the AFC East race. After LeSean McCoy rushed for 150 yards and cornerback Nickell Robey-Coleman grabbed two interceptions, Ryan acknowledged that his team has found its groove, and in plenty of time to save its season.It feels great, Ryan said. You know me, Im just an average coach, very rarely won three straight games, so it feels great. Weve just got to go for four now.The Bills hadnt won three straight since winning the first three contests of the 2011 season, which ended 6-10. Buffalos three-week turnaround is remarkable, but it played out logically in front of the stadium featuring a large contingent of long-suffering Bills fans eager to see their team in the Coliseum for the first time since a game against the Raiders in 1992.The defense produced its third consecutive strong performance, limiting the Rams to 345 yards and just one touchdown while forcing three turnovers even without defensive lineman Marcell Dareus, a late scratch after injuring his hamstring Friday.Robey-Coleman made the biggest plays, returning one of his picks for a touchdown in the stadium where he played his college ball. The Bills plus-9 turnover margin is among their greatest assets, Ryan said.I think the big deal is youre seeing 11 guys out there playing as one, Ryan said. They dont want to let each other down, and I think thats a great thing. ... It has nothing to do with individual glory and all that. I think weve sold out to just being a tteam and I think thats how were playing.ddddddddddddThe Bills offense was led by Tyrod Taylor -- who passed for two touchdowns and made enough big plays to counteract a few regrets -- and McCoy, who tore through a Los Angeles defensive line missing three starters. Buffalo didnt overwhelm the depleted Rams, but capitalized on several opportunities for a comfortable win.I could have easily have had over 200 yards, McCoy said.That confidence is worlds away from the Bills state just three weeks ago, when a 37-31 loss to the New York Jets prompted Ryan to fire offensive coordinator Greg Roman. Buffalo hasnt lost with newly promoted coordinator Anthony Lynn in charge, but McCoy believes the praise should go to the entire offense.It wasnt a dominating performance by our offense, or a dominating performance by our defense or special teams, McCoy said. It was all together. Thats a big win.The Bills didnt dominate the Rams, but they proved to be resourceful on both sides of the ball. That adaptability is a key to the three-game resurgence under Ryan.After consecutive wins over Arizona, New England and Los Angeles, the Bills schedule gets theoretically easier for the next two weeks, making a 5-2 start looked eminently possible. Buffalo returns home to host struggling San Francisco before traveling to Miami.Its gratifying for the moment, but man, we know weve got a ton of work in front of us, Ryan said. The gratification will come, obviously, if were fortunate enough to do what our plans are. But right now, weve got a flight home. Maybe it will be gratifying on the way home.
