WBC heavyweight champion Deontay ‘Bronze Bomber’ Wilder (39-0, 38 KOs) says he’s ready to make an example of unbeaten contender Luis ‘King Kong’ Ortiz (28-0, 24 KOs) on March 3rd in their fight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
Wilder will be displaying his talent against Ortiz on Showtime Boxing on the 3rd of March. This is one of the better opponents Wilder has had since he captured the WBC title 3 years ago in January 2015.
Wilder would have defended against Ortiz last year if he hadn’t tested positive for 2 banned drugs. Wilder also had a fight fall through against Alexander Povetkin in 2016 after he tested positive for a banned drug as well. Wilder has not had the best of luck when it comes to him making defenses for his WBC belt.
“Luis Ortiz you about to go down,” he added. “I’m going to use you as an example for the rest of them,” Deontay said to skysports.com.
“People say you got skill, people say you got will, they say you King Kong, the boogeyman as well. All of these things they relay you as, but the Bronze Bomber is going to beat you” Wilder said.
