WBC heavyweight champion Deontey Wilder and Luis Ortiz may try to meet again on March 3 in New York at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The boxers' teams began negotiations again they havn't reached an agreement yet, but Wilder already stated that he would like to meet the hard-hitting Cuban.
Wilder and Ortiz had an attempt to meet on November 4, but the duel was canceled due to Ortiz' positive doping tests for banned diuretics. Wilder was at the last Ortiz fight, which took place on December 8, and in which Ortiz in the second round knocked out American journeyman Daniel Martz.
