Deontay Wilder will face both Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury within his next three fights, according to co-manager Shelly Finkel.

The WBC heavyweight champion successfully defended his title with a brutal first-round knockout of Dominic Breazeale on Saturday night in New York, and fans are now demanding to know who will be his future opponents.

It has been rumoured that a rematch with Luis Ortiz – who Wilder knocked out in March 2018 – is already agreed to take place later this year, however this is apparently not yet 100 per cent a done deal.

“No, [the Ortiz rumours are] not true,” Finkel told SunSport.

“That is something we are working on now, hopefully by next week it will be resolved.

“I had dinner the other night with John Skipper [DAZN chairman], we discussed the Joshua fight and I also have been in touch with Top Rank [Tyson Fury’s co-promoters].

“In the next two weeks everything will be done, it will be said publicly what we’re doing and I believe the UK fans will also be happy.”

It had also been reported that, after rematching Ortiz, Wilder is planning to face Adam Kownacki early next year.

Finkel seemingly dispelled this talk, by confirming that the champion’s next three bouts will come against Joshua, Ortiz and Fury – though he did not specify in which order.

“We’re working on that, and those three fighters [Joshua, Fury and Ortiz].

“Deontay will be fighting all of them in a succession which we will hopefully work out in the next couple of weeks.”
