A nationally televised boxing match set for Sunday featuring Victor Ortiz was canceled Wednesday after his arrest on suspicion of felony sexual assault in Oxnard.

Ortiz, 31, turned himself in to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office on Tuesday afternoon in connection with three felony assault charges, including forcible rape, which were filed a day earlier by the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office after an investigation by the Oxnard Police Department.

Less than an hour after he turned himself in, Ortiz was released from custody on $100,000 bail.

On Wednesday, Ortiz’s opponent, John Molina Jr., posted a short video to his Instagram account announcing the Sunday bout had been canceled.

“Bad news,” Molina said on social media. “The fight has officially been canceled, obviously due to uncontrollable circumstances from Team Ortiz.

“This is boxing, and sometimes you don’t know the circumstances that are going to unfold,” he said.

Molina Jr. made no mention of the charges brought against Ortiz.

The cancellation was confirmed by the bout’s organizer Premier Boxing Champions in a news release sent Wednesday afternoon, which also made no mention of the charges.

“John Molina, Jr., who was scheduled to be in the main event, will be rescheduled to return to the ring soon. And former welterweight champion Victor Ortiz, who was slated to face Molina, will no longer be on the card,” the release stated.

Attempts to reach promoters Ringstar Sports and TGB Promotions were unsuccessful.

The fight, planned at the Citizens Business Bank Arena in Ontario, was due to be televised Sunday night on FS1. The night’s other bouts will go on as planned, including the title fight between featherweight contender Brandon Figueroa and Oscar Escandon.

On Wednesday morning, hours prior to Molina’s announcement, Ortiz’s trainer Joseph “Hoss” Janik had said the status of the bout was still undecided.

“We’re still proceeding like the fight is going to happen,” he said from Ventura-based gym Knuckleheadz Boxing.

Janik said Ortiz denied the allegations. The trainer declined to comment further.

Ortiz’s charges were the result of an investigation Oxnard police launched in March after receiving a report from a woman. She contacted police just before 1 p.m. March 19 and reported that she had been sexually assaulted inside an Oxnard residence, according to the Oxnard Police Department.

Ortiz was identified as a suspect the day of the incident, Oxnard police Cmdr. Sharon Giles said Tuesday. Ortiz is set to return to Ventura County Superior Court on Oct. 10.

The 31-year-old was born in Garden City, Kansas, and moved to Denver with his sister in the early 2000s before settling in Oxnard, California, where he trained at La Colonia Youth Boxing Club.

Roberto Garcia, Ortiz’s trainer, became his legal guardian. The boxer graduated from Oxnard’s Pacifica High School in 2005.

During his boxing career, Ortiz has accrued a 32-6-3 record, holding the WBC welterweight title in 2011.

He has also appeared movies, including The Expendables 3 and Southpaw, as well as the TV program Dancing With the Stars in 2013.
