Deontay Wilder sent out a warning on Thursday saying he plans on taking out his frustrations on Bermane Stiverne in their fight on November 4. Wilder is upset at Luis Ortiz testing positive for a banned drug during the recent pre-fight screening.

The World Boxing Council made the decision not to let Wilder defend his title against Ortiz on November 4, as previously scheduled. That’s the fight that Wilder wanted, and he paid Stiverne to step aside. Ortiz is now out of the fight, and Stiverne is going to be facing Wilder.

Wilder and Stiverne will be fighting each other in a rematch on November 4 on Showtime Championship Boxing at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Wilder is trying to see the opponent change in a positive light. He says he would have had to fight Stiverne anyway. He now can get the fight over with sooner instead of having to wait until after the fight with Ortiz. Stiverne is Wilder’s mandatory challenger which he must take.

“Stiverne asked for it, so he’s going to get it,” Wilder said. “Whatever happens happens. Ask and you shall receive.”

Wilder beat Stiverne by a 12 round unanimous decision 2 years ago in 2015.

“I’m relieved to be getting my mandatory out of the way. At least now I won’t have to deal with that down the road,” said Wilder.
