Many thought Fury was beating Wilder in his controversial December draw
Now, however, in an unprecedented move, Wilder says he has settled his next two fights, the second of which will be against Fury.
Dates are not yet confirmed for both clashes, though the Ortiz bout takes place around September 2019, followed by Fury in the spring of 2020.
Wilder posted on social media: "Well, as I always say, I am the true champion of the sector and, as I have already mentioned, I have to manage all my controversial fights as soon as possible.
"Luis Ortiz is the first, followed by Tyson Fury.

Wilder was troubled by Ortiz, but eventually knocked him out in March 2018
"In no way am I looking beyond Ortiz, he's a dangerous fighter. But I look through him (window shopping).
"All contracts have already been signed. It's officially lit.
The announcement comes on the eve of Anthony Joshua's fight against Andy Ruiz Jr, who is due to make his debut in the United States and take place at MSG in New York.
Throughout the week of combat, Wilder dominated all the discussion topics after announcing two major fights within three days.

Wilder stole the thunder of Joshua
At their first meeting, the consensus suggested that Fury was unhappy not to make a decision against Wilder, who seemed to surpbad him for most of the evening.
However, he was knocked down twice, in the ninth and twelfth rounds, which ultimately cost him on scorecards.
The controversy persists, hence the need now for a much anticipated recovery.
