Grandpa Ortiz is only banned from fighting chicken legs Wilder it seems. Couldn't make this **** up. Only in boxing.
Of course he's not banned this was a total sham to get a network to pick up the Stiverne match. Wilder's title run is a farce. Molina Duhaupas Szpilka Arreola Washington Stiverne 2 NOT ONE IS A RING RATED TOP 10 OPPONENT. six defenses and not one against a legit opponent. Povetkin and Ortiz to clear top 5 contenders were both removed. wlad is gone, fury is gone, and thanks to sanctioning bodies Povetkin and Ortiz are gone, that's 4 top fighters removed making a very weak top 10 for Wilder to face AND STILL HE HAS NOT DONE SO.
Stuff like this isn't even surprising. Annoying, yes. But Wilder won't fight anyone good for a long time.
Wilder: Oh what a shame. I've already got my hands tied with this Stiverne I'm afraid and I have a mandatory after. I'm anticipating breaking my fist after that and taking a break and I'll probably need two comeback fights after that, and who knows, if you've reached your sixtieth birthday by then, I'll consider fighting you.
lol not surprised haha. and dan rafeal on espn says if you talk to wilder for 5mins you can tell he wants tofight the best *rollseyes* I think dans wrong on this one lol.
Adding insult to injury, Wilder is attacking Mike Tyson on social media and telling boxing fans they should shut up complaining about his resume as he's "the best HW out there". Wilder can't be taken seriously, he's totally delusional.
