Ortiz: Wilder can say anything. I will knock him out

Unbeaten heavyweight contender Luis Ortiz of Cuba believes that WBC champion Deontay Wilder trash talks a lot, so as not to lose confidence in his abilities.

"He inflates himself and tries to believe in himself. But a bad night awaits him. Every fighter loses who speaks a lot. For example Brandon Rios. He spoke and spoke before the fight with Garcia. And what in the end? Wilder can say what he wants. I'm responsible for my words. I proved this 39 times, 38 by knockouts. And I'll do it in the 40th, and I'll win by 39th knockout," Ortiz said.

The fight of Deontay Wilder and Luis Ortiz will take place on March 3 in New York.
