WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder stated that he is scheduled to meet Luis Ortiz next in a risky rematch of their risky 2018 war via social media his next fight via social media:
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. All my controversial fights must get dealt with ASAP!!

The announcement appears predictable since Luis Ortiz was invited into the ring, following Wilders recent stoppage of Dominic Breazeale only weeks ago. Ortiz entertained a brief interview with Showtime, after a short embrace with Wilder.. The reported 40 year-old Ortiz 31-1 (26 KOs) is ranked at number 3 by the WBC and has rebuilt , with impressive victories over Travis Kauffman, Raz Cojanu and Christian Hammer since his sole defeat by Deontay in March of last year.. The fight is a dangerous one for Wilder where the risk to reward factor pushes the boundaries.. The Event will more than likely appear as a PPV on Showtime in the United States.. Ortiz is reported to have turned down close to $7 Million to face Anthony Joshua in New York as a replacement for the June 1st date.. Its likely that Ortiz will earn considerably less in this bout..
