As they say, a king never backed down so is Deontay Wilder.

Three days from today, Deontay Wilder will defend his WBC heavyweight belt for the tenth time and the second against Cuban boxer Luis Ortiz.

With all the talks going around, the rematch will decide the true winner of their rivalry after a controversial victory at their first meeting.

“I feel like I’m the best in the world, I know I’m the best in the world. I say it boldly, I say it with confidence, with pride,” Wilder said on their final press conference before the Saturday bout.

“And with that being said, I must give the fans what they are hungry for,” he added after being asked why he agreed for the rematch.

Wilder was put in a tough situation during their first faceoff before eventually turning the tides to score a TKO.

On the other side, the challenger Ortiz who was protesting after the first bout put it all behind as he ran a full 12-week training to prove his point on Wilder come fight night.

While both boxers share mutual respect for each other, a unique bond due to their daughters having diseases that need special care, Wilder and Ortiz vow to show no mercy on the ring.

The Cuban also denied Wilder’s claim that it will be his last fight as the 40-year old Ortiz tries to end the reign of Deontay Wilder.

31-year old Inoue will defend his undisputed super bantamweight title against Nery.

29-year-old challenger Nery has the WBC and Ring magazine bantamweight titles plus the WBC super bantamweight title from 2020 to May 2021.

On the other hand, the undisputed Inoue who holds WBA and IBF titles plus WBC and WBO belts has never lost except a decision with Filipino ‘flash’ Nonito Donaire last 2011.

Francis Ngannou cries ‘deception’ vs Anthony Joshua camp

Former UFC fighter Francis Ngannou accused AJ camp of ‘trickery’ when he suffered devastating knockdowns in the first and second round last March 8, 2024 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The MMA fighter and former UFC heavyweight champion said that AJ camp sabotaged him by letting him go early in the arena.

“We both fought at 3am. What I think, something that’s happened is that they get me to the arena very early. Like my pickup time was 10.30pm to go to the arena. And then when we get to the arena, they tell us that we are scheduled around 1.45am. right?” Ngannou blurted.

He believed that he came exhausted, which resulted in his humiliating defeat.
