Deontay Wilder is all business for his upcoming rematch with Luis Ortiz on November 23rd at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas.

The WBC heavyweight champion has yet to entertain his already possible upcoming fight after the Wilder-Ortiz II with another rematch with Tyson Fury in the first stage of 2020.

The rematch is the possible decider for both fighters after a controversial finish last March.

41-0 (40 KOs) Wilder is eager to prove his supremacy after Ortiz gave the champ his toughest moment in boxing, in the seventh round to be exact.

Motivated than ever, Wilder is eyeing for a knockout in protecting his clean record but he knows it is not going to be a walk in the park.

“If you’re a boxing fan or even if you’re not a boxing fan, and you just want to come in/tune in and see what Wilder is all about, this is a fight where you can come in and say ‘you don’t know what the outcome is going to be,’” Wilder said in an interview with bigfightweekend.com.

“That’s what I like about this fight. To give the fans something to look forward to…. To say, ‘Man, I don’t know what’s going to happen in this fight.’ It could go both ways.” he added.

While, this rematch is coming to a close, noise has been murmuring around for a second bout between Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder. Fury was once the undisputed heavyweight champion and the lone boxer to put Wilder in a draw decision. February was the initial date of the possible rematch.

Two-weight world Mexican champ Luis Nery (35 wins – 1 loss – 0) mocked the undefeated “Japanese monster” Naoya Inoue (26 wins – 0 loss) as ordinary and overrated hyping their fight at Tokyo Dome in Japan May 6, 2024.

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.
