No, Deontay Wilder isn’t fighting Anthony Joshua or Tyson Fury next.
Yes, his next fight will be an upgrade over his overmatched WBC mandatory challenger Dominic Breazeale.
Wilder (41-0-1, 40 KOs) announced on Tuesday — this perhaps not coincidentally the week of Anthony Joshua’s US debut against Andy Ruiz Jr — that he and Luis Ortiz have agreed to a rematch of their thrilling March 2018 encounter.
Wilder v Ortiz II
To all my fans,
I want to announce that Luis Ortiz and I have signed for a rematch, with the date and site to be announced shortly.
