IV. DECISION

As a result of Ortiz’s second positive test for a prohibited substance in a period of three (3) years, the Championship Committee orders as follows:

1. Ortiz’ status and recognition as mandatory contender is revoked. Ortiz is removed from the WBA ratings and suspended from participation in any WBA sanctioned bouts for one (1) year (until September 22, 2018). After March 22, 2018, Ortiz may request his suspension be lifted, which may only be granted in the sole discretion of the WBA. For the suspension to be lifted, Ortiz must continue to fully participate in the VADA Clean Boxing Program at his expense, shall not otherwise test positive for any prohibited substance or refuse to be randomly tested, and must undergo an independent

 

Iago Kiladze will face Pedro Rodriguez on Stiverne/Wilder undercard. Rodriguez is a former victim of Magomed Abdusalamov and Oleksandr Usyk. Decent technician but has a weak chin. Kiladze on other hand is heavy-handed puncher with a shaky chin.

 

Lenroy Thomas is set to face Ed Fountain on Stiverne/Wilder undercard. Fountain is a decent stay busy fight for Thomas, who will face Dave Allen for the 2 time on Bellew/Haye 2 undercard.

 

Efe Ajagba is set to face Rodney Hernandez on Stiverne/Wilder undercard. Decent step up for Ajagba.

"I've had two years out of the ring. Fat as a pig, hairy as an animal, but still as hungry as a lion," Fury exclusively told Sky Sports. "You have two years out of the ring and it gives you that va-va-voom to get back in there and bust a few heads.

"Do I need that many warm-ups? I don't think so. Am I a 40-year-old? No, I'm 29. Still got a long time in boxing. I'm just so happy and excited to potentially be a part of one of the biggest fights in British boxing history.

"People say, why do you think it's that? I'm saying it because two unbeaten heavyweights, one unified champion, one lineal champion, both over six foot six tall, both over 18 stone. One nice guy, one bad man - it is what it is. I think the public are going to relish the thoughts of making this fight happen."

"I think next summer is ideal and realistic. I'm not going to do it in February or March, because obviously I'm not in shape. But I'll be back in shape by the time March, April comes around. Back ripped, looking sexy as ever. A couple of sun beds, a haircut and a shave, I'll be back to my old self," Fury said.
