WBC heavyweight champion Deontay “Bronze Bomber” Wilder (38-0, 37 KOs) vs. Luis “King Kong” Ortiz (27-0, 23 KOs) has been officially announced for November 4 at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
The Wilder vs. Ortiz fight will be televised on Showtime Championship Boxing on November 4.
Wilder and Ortiz’s promoters waited until the Saul Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennady “GGG” Golovkin fight was over before they made the move to announce their huge heavyweight clash. You’ve got to give Wilder, 31, and Ortiz a ton of credit for facing each other, as it’s a risky fight for both men.
Ortiz, 38, comes from an extensive amateur background in his native Cuba. He has got loads of talent, and can pretty much do it all.
