Vergil Ortiz, the highly regarded unbeaten welterweight prospect, reportedly fainted Wednesday and was forced Thursday to pull out of his fight against champion Eimantas Stanionis on Saturday in San Antonio for the WBA title.

Golden Boy Promotions announced Ortiz's withdrawal in a statement and noted that Floyd Schofield would face Haskell Rhodes in the main event Saturday on DAZN.

In a statement attributed only to Golden Boy Promotions, the company confirmed Ortiz's withdrawal.

Stanionis manager Shelly Finkel told Yahoo Sports on Thursday that Golden Boy Promotions president Eric Gomez told him that Ortiz had fainted and was taken to a local hospital. He was forced to pull out of the fight due to his health, the third time in 15 months that's happened between the two.
