    Rumours are circulating that Ortiz could become Tyson Fury's new mandatory challenger. Is this an acceptable defence or will you pass on this potential match-up?

    pathetic as the sport has become, this would drag it down even further.

    Did the prophecy foretell a fat pos destroying a sport by never facing a live body his entire career? If so it was about Fury.

    44 years old, coming off a loss, best win Charles Martin, the definition of scraping the bottom of the barrel.

    If this is true then we should bear in mind that Luis Ortiz is the bogeyman, meaning he's a lump of solidified snot that someone pulled out of their nose (or other bodily orifice).

    Looking at the WBC ranking Ortiz is ranked 14th, these rumours are likely BS. Maybe they have an opponent and it's bad but by spreading a rumour that it's Ortiz we'll go, phew well at least it's better than Ortiz. If anyone is named mandatory it's likely Sanchez. Wilder and Ruiz couldn't agree the eliminator so they are out, AJ is fighting Wilder at the end of the year so he's out and so Sanchez is next in line and it would keep the title in the hands of Haymon who has far too much pull with the WBC.

    Not the entire sport, which is thriving with great matches, but the HW division. And it's all on Fury.

    I feel like Ortiz is finally starting to enter his prime. So this should be a great scrap and another impressive notch on the belt of the Gypsy King, should he win, thus further confirming his ATG status. In fact, this could actually be the fight that elevates him from an ATG to the GOAT.
