Background

edit

After his first round knockout of Dominic Breazeale in May 2019, Deontay Wilder was linked with both a rematch with Lineal champion Tyson Fury and an undisputed bout with Anthony Joshua. However he opted for a rematch with Luis Ortiz who he had stopped in March 2018.[4][5] This was criticised by Dillian Whyte who had been the top ranked contender with the WBC for more than 600 days, without getting a title shot.[6]

It was expected that Ortiz would push Wilder with the BBC Sport boxing correspondent Mike Costello saying "I see not necessarily a similar fight to last time but I do see Ortiz again giving Wilder plenty to think about"[7]

Wilder was 7-1 favorite going into the bout.[8]

The fight

edit

Ortiz clearly outboxed Wilder for the first six rounds. However in the 7th round Wilder landed a straight right that knocked Ortiz down and he failed to beat the count.[9][10]

At the time of the stoppage Ortiz led on all three scorecards with two scores of 55–59 and one of 56–58. Both the AP and The Guardian had it a shutout of 54–60 to Ortiz.[11]

Aftermath

edit

“Next we have Tyson Fury in the rematch,” Wilder said in the ring after the bout “Then I want unification. I want one champion, one face and one heavyweight champion – Deontay Wilder.”

A month after the bout the rematch with Tyson Fury was confirmed.[12]
