    Multiple sources have informed BScene.com that Deontay Wilder’s next WBC heavyweight title defense will come against Luis Ortiz.

    Negotiations are nearly finalized for Wilder to oppose Ortiz on November 4 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. It is possible that the fight will take place October 14 at Barclays Center, but it is more likely to be scheduled for November 4.

    Barclays Center has been reserved for those two dates by promoter Lou DiBella, whose company, DiBella Entertainment, has promoted Wilder’s recent fights on behalf of Al Haymon’s Premier Boxing Champions.
    Wilder-Ortiz likely will be broadcast by Showtime.

    Haymon and Don King, Stiverne’s promoter, have been negotiating a step-aside agreement that would pay the Haitian-born, Quebec-based Stiverne a fee for allowing Wilder to defend his title against Ortiz, who’s ranked No. 3 by the WBC.

    Wilder, who couldn’t be reached for comment, alluded to a surprising pick for his next opponent in a video he released through his Instagram account early Tuesday morning.

    “Shout out to all my heavy supporters,” Wilder said, “my Day Ones, my foot soldiers, and my hitters and my haters. Well, it’s only a matter of time, baby. I know y’all been waiting patiently, at least some of y’all. The time is almost up. Who will be that victim, No. 39? See, the thing about it [is], be careful what you ask for, because sometimes you might get it. Announcement soon.”

    The 6-feet-7, 225-pound Wilder had said he wouldn’t fight Ortiz because of his previous PED use, but apparently changed his mind. Ortiz, who signed a managerial agreement with Haymon three months ago, must participate in the WBC’s Clean Boxing Program in order to receive a shot at its heavyweight title.

    According to information released by the WBC on Monday night, Ortiz has not been tested by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA) thus far in 2017. Wilder is enrolled in the program and has tested negative for PEDs.

    Stiverne has tested negative for PEDs in 2017, yet also missed a test, according to the WBC’s list.

    I'm struggling to believe this, but that would be incredible.

    If it happens, Wilder will deserve respect.

    Unfortunately, I fear Ortiz is just a bit too old at this point, but I'll still give Wilder quite a bit of credit.

    If this happens I think we'll have a new WBC champ. Finally Wilder steps up. Ortiz didnt look great in his last two fights but he still has that power.

    Ortiz is younger than Wlad.

    Yeah, and I believe Wlad was shot to **** when he faced Joshua and basically give Joshua almost no credit.

    Also, Ortiz is likely much older than his listed age. But who knows for sure.

    Good fight, Ortiz is a solid even though he's old as hell.

    This would be a great fight for Wilder if it's true.

    I can't believe Wilder is finally going to step up!!!!

    Good for Wilder if he fights faded Ortiz. It's certainly a real big step in the right direction if true but I'll believe it when I see it considering Deontay just turned down a career high payday to face Dillian ****ing Whyte.
