\"\"Victor Ortiz<\/a> was set to headline the Premier Boxing Champions event<\/strong> that was scheduled to take place on Sunday, 30 September. Fox Sports 1 is covering the event which has Ortiz taking on his ex-sparring partner John Molina<\/strong>. That fight will no longer take place as Ortiz was arrested by the authorities in California for alleged rape and the fight has been pulled from the card.<\/p>\n

The co-main event which is a fight between Oscar Escandon<\/strong> and featherweight challenger Brandon Figueroa<\/strong> will most likely be given main event status. <\/p>\n

The woman who filed the charges claims that she was assaulted and raped at her home in Tarzana and Ortiz was identified as the suspect. So far no statement has been made by Ortiz or his team in regards to the allegations.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the police said <\/p>\n

A female adult contacted Oxnard police to report she was sexually assaulted in a city residence, launching a criminal investigation by the department\u2019s family-protection unit that culminated in the arrest<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The boxer posted bond for $100,000<\/strong> and there were talks that he would still get to headline the card on Sunday. However, those plans were scrapped and Ortiz will not be fighting anytime soon. He is scheduled to appear on October 10 at the Ventura County Superior Court<\/strong> for a hearing.<\/p>\n

Ortiz Loses Out On A Great Opportunity<\/h2>\n

The fight on Sunday was a great opportunity for Ortiz to get back to his winning ways. He stole the limelight back in 2011 when he fought Andre Berto and put up a thrilling fight which would go on to win \u2018Fight of the Year<\/em>\u2019. Ortiz won that fight and would go on to fight Floyd \u2018Money<\/em>\u2019 Mayweather<\/a>.<\/p>\n
