Cuban slugger Luis “King Kong” Ortiz says he believes he is the best and that is why he is getting his rematch with Deontay "The Bronze Bomber" Wilder tomorrow.

Wilder and Ortiz will collide for a second time at the MGM Grand Garden Arena.

Ortiz challenged Wilder back in March last year at Barclays Centre in Brooklyn.

Ortiz was dropped early on, but he came back in the seventh round to badly hurt Wilder and the end appeared to be close.

But Wilder recovered, dropping Ortiz twice in the tenth round for the stoppage.

Wilder, who is looking at a February rematch with Tyson Fury, is taking a dangerous risk by stepping in the ring with Ortiz.

Ortiz says being in the U.S. has allowed him to focus on his two dreams, finding a cure for his daughter's disease and becoming heavyweight champion of the world.

Wilder is set to make 3 million US dollars while Ortiz will take home 1.5 million US dollars.

The fight program will start at 3pm tomorrow.
