The big break that Matt Griego-Ortega has sought for so long, the Albuquerque boxer says, is at hand.

In the meantime, he plans to end a two-year ring hiatus in his hometown on Oct. 3.

Griego-Ortega (15-0, 10 knockouts) is scheduled for a bout that evening at Expo New Mexico on the debut card of Albuquerque鈥檚 Prime Time Promotions.

After that fight, he said, he鈥檒l be free to announce a deal with an out-of-state concern that he believes will give his career the kick-start it has lacked.

鈥淚 signed a pretty big contract that I can鈥檛 talk about yet,鈥� he said.

Griego-Ortega, 30, posted on Instagram that the Oct. 3 bout might well be his last in Albuquerque.

鈥淲ith the company I鈥檓 going with, I don鈥檛 know if they鈥檒l be out here,鈥� he said.

Lack of exposure beyond New Mexico鈥檚 borders might well have played a role in the halting progress of a fighter with a perfect record and obvious talent. All but two of his 15 fights have taken place within the state.

Only one of those 15 bouts was staged by a major promoter 鈥� and that one turned out to be a major disappointment.

On Aug. 10, 2024, Griego-Ortega was to have faced fellow Albuquerque unbeaten Abraham Perez on a Top Rank, Inc., card in a fight highly anticipated by area boxing fans. The bout, scheduled at Tingley Coliseum on the undercard of a world featherweight title fight between champion Luis Alberto Lopez and Albuquerque native Angelo Leo, was to have been streamed on espn+. A victory that night might have kicked Griego-Ortega鈥檚 career into another gear.

Eight days before the fight, Perez was hospitalized after nearly drowning while doing breathing-control exercises.

Griego-Ortega still got his fight on espn+ 鈥� but against journeyman Gilberto Mendoza, a fighter he鈥檇 beaten by unanimous decision in June 2022.

Adding injury to insult, Griego-Ortega suffered a fracture in his dominant hand, his right, early in the rematch with Mendoza. Fighting essentially one-handed for most of eight rounds, he again won by unanimous decision.

Griego-Ortega hasn鈥檛 fought since that night.

Boxing, he said, isn鈥檛 something he needs to support his family; he makes his living as a barber. But without it, there was a hole in his life.

鈥淚 don鈥檛 need boxing to survive,鈥� he said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 just something that I鈥檝e loved my whole life, and I have a talent, and I have a dream.

鈥淭he money (in boxing) is good 鈥� but it鈥檚 not even about that. It鈥檚 just that I have a talent for it, and I want to do big things.鈥�

After the Mendoza fight, opportunities came 鈥� and vanished.

He had to turn down a title fight in Japan, he said, because his hand wasn鈥檛 healed. A huge card planned for the Pit in April 2025, with Griego-Ortega and several other Albuquerque boxers scheduled to fight, fell apart.

鈥淭hat was another hard part of my career, and honestly, my life,鈥� he said. 鈥淎fter that (failed card), I talked to my team and told them, you know, 鈥業 don鈥檛 want to do this anymore.鈥�

鈥淲hen (bad) things continue to happen, it鈥檚 like you question, 鈥業s this (a boxing career) supposed to happen? Like, is this meant for me?鈥欌��

Griego credits several people for restoring his desire to fight.

Albuquerque boxer Yoruba Moreu Jr., a longtime teammate, asked him to help him prepare for a fight. Those sparring sessions, Griego-Ortega, provided a spark.

His trainers, Manuel Anaya, Leroy Bazan and Sergio Chavez, encouraged him throughout the months of inactivity. Chavez, Griego-Ortega said, was instrumental in getting him the major opportunity he plans to announce after the Oct. 3 fight.

His family and his Christian faith, as well, played a major role.

鈥淚 started praying every night,鈥� he said. 鈥淚 just felt like it lifted the weight off my shoulders.

鈥淚 was content with whatever was meant to be for me.鈥�

Griego-Ortega鈥檚 bout is scheduled for eight rounds against an opponent yet to be confirmed. After having campaigned at 112 and 115 pounds throughout his career, he鈥檚 moving to the bantamweight limit of 118 pounds.
