Tale of the Tape - Deontay Wilder vs Luis Ortiz

Sky Sports' Head of Boxing, Adam Smith, said: "We are absolutely thrilled to have Deontay Wilder back on Sky Sports - both live in the ring, defending his WBC heavyweight crown against unbeaten southpaw Luis Ortiz, and also ringside with us in Cardiff for AJ-Parker.

"He wants one champion in the division, so he has to get past Ortiz first and then he will get closer to that by being at the Principality Stadium, Cardiff, with three belts on the line.

"Deontay commentated with us at Wembley and he has been calling out AJ for a while now. Ortiz will be his toughest test since winning the green belt, so if he wins, he will be with us again.

"The boxing world will be watching to see if Wilder can deal with Ortiz, so tune into Sky Sports to find out. If he does, he will be in Wales and for the first time ever, a fight with four heavyweight titles on the line, moves even closer. We, like you, can't wait."
