KING VS KONG - Wilder vs Ortiz 2

[Kirkland Laing]

They're definitely not expecting Ortiz to be as much of a threat this time.Wilder and his people are hoping for another highlight reel knockout and they could be right. I'd love to see him walk into something like Joshua did though.

Nearly 2.5 million people tuned in for the last pre-fight show, that would suggest a few things

1)Wilder’s star continues to grow for making such fights

2)people don’t see it as the whitewash fans do

Deontay Wilder sends a warning to Tyson Fury’s trainer ahead of Luis Ortiz rematch in Las Vegas

Deontay Wilder has sent a warning to Tyson Fury’s trainer Ben Davision ahead of his world heavyweight title rematch with Luis Ortiz.

The ‘Bronze Bomber’ puts his prestigious WBC belt on the line this Saturday night at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.



Eighteen months after their first clash, Wilder and Ortiz will once again both horns as both men seek to right what they perceive to be the wrongs from the first fight.

The Cuban had Wilder hurt badly in the seventh round of the contest, while the Alabama-native believes he can end the contest more convincingly.

Provided he can emerge victorious, another rematch presumably awaits.

Tyson Fury shed 10 stone last December and seemed on course to dethrone Wilder in Los Angeles, but there was to be no Christmas miracle for the ‘Gypsy King’ as the bout was scored a controversial split decision draw.

Fury told talkSPORT a deal has been agreed for the duo to meet again in February 2020, despite the grotesque cuts he picked up against Otto Wallin.

And in preparation of the potential sequel, trainer Ben Davison will be in attendance to watch Wilder.

Upon the hearing the news, the unbeaten heavyweight king had a simple message for the 25-year-old.

“Take as many notes as you want,” he told Fight Hype. “Because you’re going to need it.”

Despite what’s at stake, Fury won’t be at the MGM Grand to watch how it plays out.

The Brit has been carrying out a number of promotional duties for his new book and Christmas single with Robbie Williams, while he’s also been making appearances in the WWE.

And he will be at home resting up, with trainer Ben Davison instead keeping a close eye on Wilder vs Ortiz.

“No. He’s having a well-earned bit of rest now,” Davison told Boxing Social when asked whether Fury will attend the fight.

I agree that this fight isn’t a foregone conclusion, but Wilder is taking this fight by his own choosing. That usually means that he is very confident in his chances.
