Wilder-Ortiz rematch

World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder announced a rematch with Cuba’s Luis Ortiz on Tuesday, dealing a fresh blow to hopes of a unification bout with rival Anthony Joshua. In an announcement on Twitter, Wilder said he had signed a deal to face Ortiz once more following a bruising first battle in March 2018. Wilder, 33, won his first encounter with the Cuban nicknamed “King Kong” with a 10th-round stoppage, but not before the 40-year-old had badly shaken the undefeated champion. While no date or venue was announced, US media reports said the two men would face off in Las Vegas on September 28.
