BOXING: DEONTAY WILDER TO TAKE ON LUIS ORTIZ MARCH 3RD IN NEW YORK


WBC Heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder will take on Luis Ortiz in New York March 3rd...
The previous scheduled fight was put off after Luis Ortiz failed a drug test. 

Ortiz was not banned because the medication he took was for high blood pressure but was fined $25,000. 

The bout will take place inside the Barclays Center in new York. 


Both professional fighters have won all their bouts with Deontay Wilder winning 39 fights and Luis Ortiz winning 28 fights. 

The other huge heavyweight contender, Anthony Joshua, wants to get into the ring with Joseph Parker of New Zealand maybe March 31st. 

No boxer have ever held all belts namely the WBC, WBO, IBF and WBA at the same time. Wilder is focusing on Joshua after this bout.
