In March 2018, Wilder floored Ortiz before being badly hurt himself and on the brink of being beaten.

However, the American then recovered and turned the tables once again to win by stunning tenth-round KO.

Wilder has since had a controversial draw with Tyson Fury and a first-round knockout of Dominic Breazeale.

Ortiz has since beaten Razvan Cojanu, Travis Kauffman and Christian Hammer, but is now 40 years of age and so will once again be the underdog against the champion.
