Heavyweight contender Luis “King Kong” Ortiz (29-1, 25 KOs) is slated to appear in one of the televised fights on the undercard of the Deontay Wilder-Tyson Fury heavyweight world title fight on Dec. 1 (Showtime PPV) at Staples Center in Los Angeles. Ortiz’s probable opponent will be Travis Kauffman (32-2, 23 KOs), 33, of Reading, Pennsylvania, multiple sources told ESPN. Ortiz suffered a 10th-round knockout loss challenging Wilder for his title on March 3 but he rebounded with a second-round knockout of Razvan Cojanu on July 28, also at Staples Center, on the Mikey Garcia-Robert Easter Jr. undercard. Kauffman dropped a majority decision to Amir Mansour in March 2017 but returned to win a majority decision in his next fight against Scott Alexander in June.
