Wilder / Stiverne II & WBC gives Ortiz a pass.

[MightyWarrior]

No wonder his weasel manager "admires" the WBC, it appears they have decided to give poor old Ortiz the benefit of the doubt ( it's the poor chaps blood pressure you see, and he's only gone and taken the wrong meds again, he's in such a muddle! )
Clearly the WBC can see their hard un-earned dollars flying out the window, with YET ANOTHER heavy testing positive, and they are running out of bodies at this rate ( MORE to follow folks you can be certain; although they will almost certainly avoid testing some of the big ( belted ) fish for the time being, until all cash has been made and safely stored overseas )

What a travesty. Sooooooo.....we get Stiverne Wilder 2 instead, because the big palooka barely won a round last time - mother of god, are we in a bad dream here ?

Ortiz Camp respects and admires WBC decision

Manager to Luis Ortiz, Jay Jimenez, wants to clarify the current situation with his fighter and the WBC’s decision to move to a new opponent.
“To clarify the Luis Ortiz situation, this is the real and only version of the current process. Mr. Sulaiman and the WBC have NOT suspended or removed Luis from their rankings. The WBC’s decision was as follows, they did not sanction the fight based off the fact that they are worried for Luis’s health. And to be honest, I must respect and admire their decision because I agree, the fighter’s health is paramount. So, the WBC will schedule a visit with one of their approved physicians to check Luis health, and make sure he is 100% healthy and fit to fight, and that the Blood Pressure pills will not affect him physically.”
“Once Luis has passed all physical exams and is medically cleared to fight by the WBC, we will begin to work on a possible fight towards the end of the year. Also, once all is resolved, we hope that we can reschedule the Wilder fight in the first quarter of next year. Wilder has shown much interest in fighting Ortiz, and the best fighters in the division, so I know it will not be a hard fight to renegotiate. Thank you to everyone for your support. This soon will be corrected, and Luis can continue on with his career.”

[Cyclops]

Isn't ortiz still Joshua's mandatory?

[BitPlayer]

Sounds like the WBC are trolling Ortiz.

[asdfjkl]

So they don't care about drugs addict Stiverne his health, but they do care about Ortiz his health? How big can this joke become?

Yep because Stiverne has no chance of winning but Ortiz has a very good chance of winning.

Really cant be arsed with this fight at all, the 1st fight was a stinker and the only interest was seeing how Wilder coped going 12 rounds, Stiverne gave up his title without much fuss, his chin stood up mind, he's only had one fight since then and that was 2 years ago, Wilder himself hasn't fought since knocking out Washington in February , he was being outboxed in that fight before again showing his power

The only interest in this fight is seeing if Wilder can KO Stiverne this time, I reckon he should, the thought of Stiverne becoming world HW champ again doesn't bear thinking about
