Louis Ortiz is aiming for the world title and the only person standing his way is a man he lost to a little over a year ago on Saturday 3, March 2018, Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York, USA.
But now the Cuban has got the opportunity to rewrite the wrongs and win a world title against a fighter who cleared his ‘0’ in a pulsating TKO and the self styled ‘King Kong’ is relishing the mission.
“A warrior doesn’t abandon his mission. My mission is to become world champion. I’ve trained very hard since my loss and it will all culminate on November 23.” Ortiz said.
“I’m very happy to have this opportunity at the rematch. Wilder had the courage to take the rematch and that’s a big part of why this is happening. I’m excited for this fight and I’m going to make the most of it.
“There are no excuses from me. The first fight is over. Now we’re on to this fight. I’m going to get the victory. There are things that are being done differently, but it will all be decided in the ring.
“I’m focused on this fight and only this fight. I’m not a man of many words, but the opportunity is here and it was destined to be. Here we go.
“I won’t make the same mistake this time like I made in the last fight. I’m going to be more prepared, more aggressive and have more of everything. I’m taking it all up a level.” He reiterated.
But the bullishly confident black bomber is equally very optimistic ahead of their impending showdown.
“I’m a true champion.” Wilder Said “A true champion can walk it like he talks it, and I walk it like I talk it every time. On November 23 I expect to see everyone there or ordering it on pay-per-view, because I can’t wait.” He continued.
“That first fight was a test for me to show me where my skill level was in the heavyweight division. He was the bogeyman in the heavyweight division for a reason. To this day, they still don’t fight him for a reason.
“I’m the best in the world. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I believe in that and I’ve proven that. I’ve proved so many people wrong and I still have to do it. That gives me the motivation and the will to keep going.”
Louis Ortiz (31-1,26 KOs) versus Deontay Wilder(40-0-1, 40 KOs) II is set for Saturday 23, November 2019 at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
