“I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time and I’m excited that the time has come to meet Luis Ortiz,” 懷爾德說. “Ortiz is considered the boogeyman of the sport and I am the hardest hitter in boxing. When you put us together in a ring, you will get one of the best heavyweight fights in a long time. I will unify the division. This I promise. This is the first step towards unifying. Any heavyweight that gets in my way is getting knocked out.”
“Wilder has been doing a lot of talking about me and this fight,” 奧爾蒂斯說. “I’m tired of hearing it. I’m not that big on talking. I like to do all my talking in the ring and that’s what I plan to do. 我尊重他. I know he hits hard, but I hit hard too. 這將是一個偉大的鬥爭. I can’t wait to get in the ring and shut him up in front of everybody at Barclays Center on SHOWTIME on 十一月 4.”
“This fight is happening because Deontay Wilder wants to beat the best, regardless of the risk,” 說婁DiBella, DiBella娛樂總裁. “He will knock ‘King Kong’ off the Empire State Building for the world to see on 十一月 4 at Barclays Center.”
“The resurgence of the heavyweight division is going to be on full display at Barclays Center and on SHOWTIME on 十一月 4,” 說湯姆·布朗, president of TGB Promotions. “Deontay is facing his toughest challenge yet in the undefeated Cuban, giving him the opportunity to really prove himself. We are thrilled to be a part of the action and can’t wait until fight night.”

It will be the 21st world championship fight on SHOWTIME this year and the 16th time we’ve seen undefeated fighters going head-to-head.

“上 十一月 4 Barclays Center will once again host one of the year’s best fights,” 布雷特說Yormark, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & 娛樂. “Deontay has made his mark in Brooklyn, and I am thrilled to welcome him back to our ring alongside a tough competitor in Luis Ortiz, who will be fighting here for the first time.”
The 31-year-old Wilder (38-0, 37 科斯), the only reigning American heavyweight world champion, won his WBC title with a dominant 12-round unanimous decision over Bermane Stiverne on Jan. 17, 2015 -the birthday of legendary heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali.
懷爾德, a Bronze Medal winner for the U.S. Olympic boxing team at the 2008 Beijing Games, has successfully defended the title five times. In his previous defense at Barclays Center, Wilder scored a memorable ninth-round knockout over Artur Szpilka back in Jan. 2016. In his most recent defense, 懷爾德, 塔斯卡盧薩, 翼. stopped Gerald Washington via fifth-round technical knockout before a hometown crowd at Legacy Arena in Birmingham on 二月. 25.
The 38-year-old Ortiz (27-0, 23 科斯), of Camaguey, Cuba by way of Miami, 佛羅里達州。, will make his SHOWTIME and Barclays Center debut when he meets Wilder for his first title shot. The hard-hitting southpaw turned pro seven years ago after defecting from Cuba and has since been steadily climbing the heavyweight ladder. He cemented his standing in the division with victories over veteran contenders Bryant Jennings, Tony Thompson and Malik Scott and is the No. 1-ranked contender by the WBC.
If Ortiz wins, he will become the first Cuban born fighter to win a heavyweight world championship.
