He will pick hey somewhat known a sure-thing win to rebuild his confidence after Ortiz takes his title I was going to say "you can't blame him because they all do that" but look at who Wlad fought after his title loss
Wilder will defend against Whyte in March. It'll be in England. On the same card, or in April, Joshua will defend against Ustinov or Big Baby Miller. Then Wilder and Joshua will fight in the summer in England for the true championship. Wilder isn't catching on in the U.S. The U.S. just isn't as interested in boxing as it used to be. England is where the heavyweight scene is at the moment. Deontay will go there and people in the U.S. can watch him on Saturday afternoons fighting Brits in front of massive crowds.
Wilder will have to beat Ortiz, if he fights him.....................Wilder will have his judges, referee and boxing commission supporting him, so it's impossible for Wilder to lose a decision, Ortiz has been inactive, is old, slow, but is still dangerous to Wilder, perhaps VADA will frame Ortiz like they did Povetkin, Povetkin was cleared by VADA, but Haymon would not allow the WBC to allow Povetkin to knock Wilder out..................
Duhaupas or Nichols Probably Nichols because it would make the most money on PPV with over 2 mil buys
If Deontay wins, I hope he calls out Joseph Parker everyday twice a day. My man Parker will have to respond/agree. I reckon it'll be a great fight. Ortiz - Wilder will be a good fight though. I cant wait. No doubt everybody will be watching that one.
