WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay “The Bronze Bomber” Wilder says his opponent this afternoon Luis “King Kong” Ortiz is one of the most dangerous fighters in the world.

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

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.

Wilder then recovered and dropped Ortiz twice in the tenth round for the stoppage.

Speaking at the final press conference before the fight, Wilder says he does not understand why most of the fighters who are ranked in the Top 10 in the world refuse to fight Ortiz.

Ortiz says Wilder has his reasons for agreeing to the fight and this afternoon he is going to show why that was a mistake.

The Cuban slugger says he is going to be the new 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 3 o’clock this afternoon.
