I could understand an immediate Ortiz rematch in place of Fury back in 2018, if Wilder really wanted to correct a wrong... But as Ortiz is only getting older and older and didn't really impress in the three fightd following Wilder, this feels like a marriage of convenience for Wilder more than anything.
The first one was a good high level fight, but now we are looking at late 2019 - Ortiz will be god knows how old - it just unnecessarily retreading elderly ground.
IMO it's just another way of not giving Whyte his shot whilst waiting on Fury. Though I suppose Wilder probably would have just fought a voluntary against Kownacki instead if Ortiz' handlers hadn't inexplicably rejected the Joshua offer.
EO?
Ooglie?

Suckers!

Wilder will defend his WBC heavyweight title versus Ortiz on November 23 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, as BS.com previously reported. Showtime is expected to distribute the Wilder-Ortiz rematch as the main event of a four-fight telecast.

Am I alone in thinking this will go down like Stiverne 2?
As in; Wilder comes out swinging, clips and finishes the old bloke in one or two rounds

Hearn: Deontay Wilder must beat Luis Ortiz within 4 rounds
“For you to box early February when you’re boxing November 23, the fight has got to go real smooth,” said Hearn to Thaboxingvoice about Wilder’s next fight against Ortiz. “You can’t do more than four rounds. If you get nicked in that fight, cut in that fight or bruising up your hands in that fight. We can only deal with what’s happening, and what’s happening now is Joshua is fighting Ruiz on December 7th in Saudi Arabia,” said Hearn.

I like the marketing of Luis there:
Dress him like a 90s teenager. Make sure the baseball cap is angled. And stick "Former champion" on the poster
I guess "First to KO Bryant Jennings" wasn't going to cut it for a PPV

Fury's cut may not even be close to being healed by February 2020. Worry about your own fighters Eddie!!
