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.”
