WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder in his next fight will hold a mandatory title defense.
Originally Wilder on November 4 the “Barclays Center” in new York had to go the distance in order with unbeaten Luis Ortiz, but the 38-year-old Cuban in late September, passed a positive doping test at locatran, a drug that is intended for people with high blood pressure and kidney disease, and is also used to mask other illegal substances.
World Boxing Council (WBC), considering the doping history of Ortiz, and the fact that the boxer was not notified of the Voluntary anti-doping Association in the use of a prohibited drug, canceled his fight with Wilder.
Now, instead of Ortiz, the WBC will hold a mandatory defense against the Berman Stiverne, who on 4 November, planned to meet with Dominic Brizilan.
In the fight with Stiverne Wilder in January 2015 won the WBC title. Since then, the “Bronze bomber” five times he defended his belt.
It is expected that in 2018, Deontay Wilder will hold the most anticipated heavyweight title fight against the new king of the division, Anthony Joshua, owning titles of the WBO, WBA and IBF
