Wilder confirms his rematches with fury, Ortiz is signed and sealed

By Jake Donovan

The message is now clear about the future of Deontay Wilder – no new business until it solves the problem.

A few days after unveiling his plans for a rematch against Luis Ortiz, the undefeated heavyweight titlist now claims that his plans are now in place to bring him back with Tyson Fury.

"Well, as I always say, I'm the biggest champion in the industry and, as I've already mentioned, I have to deal with all my controversial battles as soon as possible," said Wilder (41-0). 1, 40KOs) via his proven social media account. Friday. "Luis Ortiz is the first and then Tyson Fury [n]ext. "

Wilder had to start his 2019 campaign with the 13th day against the British Fury (27-0-1, 19KO), with whom he fought for a draw in 12 rounds last December. Both sides were about to agree on all the conditions for a famous rematch this spring. The Brit, still undefeated, convenes an 11th hour and intends to be heard instead of aligning on Top Rank and ESPN.

At the very least, the move has blocked plans for a new collision between the two heavyweight giants. Wilder – who is lined up with Showtime and, by Premier Boxing Champions Association, Fox Sports – then faced mandatory challenger Dominic Breazeale, whom he destroyed during a spectacular knockout round-up on May 18 in Brooklyn , NY.

The battle began over an extended five-week weekend with heavyweights like Wilder, Anthony Joshua (who will face Andy Ruiz on Saturday) and Fury, who will host Germany's Tom Schwarz on June 15 at Las Vegas. .

If Fury wins, BoxingScene.com has learned that a signed deal is in place for both to collide early in 2020, according to four separate sources that required anonymity. Fury would probably be entitled to one more fight in the fall

Of course, Wilder has yet to go to his first big unveiling this week, as the date and venue have not yet been announced for his second fight with Ortiz. The event will land on Showtime Pay-Per-View, currently scheduled for late September at Staples Center in Los Angeles – which hosted Wilder-Fury I last December.

Ortiz (31-1, 26KOs) was on the underlying card of this event, scoring Travis Kauffman's second win in Round 10 for his second win after losing to Wilder in March in Brooklyn , New York. The fight had some odd moments, including Wilder, who had more time to recover after being shaken badly in the middle of the fight.

Beyond that, he was slightly ahead at the time of the stop but with a momentum in his favor at that time and marking a conclusive end. Whatever the controversy to be resolved, the mystery is as great as knowing when the revenge will be officially announced.

Nevertheless, the fight is imminent and the undefeated double doubled his baggage, the two standing out of the first fight of Joshua in the United States while defending his many heavyweight titles against Ruiz (32-1, 21KO). The hope in the industry was that after this weekend – and with a victory for Joshua – the talks would then turn to a titanic showdown with Wilder for the undisputed heavyweight championship.

It's a fight that Wilder has been pursuing for only two years to be told what conditions he had to accept for the fight to take place. The US heavyweight has now chosen to return to favor, with the next year or so about his program not currently boasting up for Joshua.

"I'm not looking for Ortiz," says Wilder, who will try to make the 10th heavyweight title defense he claimed in January 2015. "He's a dangerous fighter, but I'm looking at him." through (Window Shopping).

"Shid, I'm the best, it's not a riddle … what other champion is giving you what your Miss … N … One has fallen to his knees, the other on his back … if you have questions then we send it back. "

The only question at this point is when will these fights officially be announced – and how much of a clash with Joshua is on the road, if at all.
