Deontay Wilder vs.
Luis Ortiz II was a professional boxing match contested on November 23, 2019,
[1] for the
WBC
heavyweight championship.

[3]
Background
After his first round knockout of
Dominic Breazeale in May 2019,
Deontay Wilder was linked with both a rematch with
Lineal champion
Tyson Fury and an undisputed bout with
Anthony Joshua . However he opted for a rematch with
Luis Ortiz who he had stopped in March 2018.
[4]
[5] This was criticised by
Dillian Whyte who had been the top ranked contender with the WBC for more than 600 days, without getting a title shot.
[6]
It was expected that Ortiz would push Wilder with the BBC Sport boxing correspondent
Mike Costello saying "I see not necessarily a similar fight to last time but I do see Ortiz again giving Wilder plenty to think about"
[7]
Wilder was 7-1 favorite going into the bout.
[8]
The fight
Ortiz clearly outboxed Wilder for the first six rounds. However in the 7th round Wilder landed a straight right that knocked Ortiz down and he failed to beat the count.
[9]
[10]
At the time of the stoppage Ortiz led on all three scorecards with two scores of 55–59 and one of 56–58. Both the
AP and
The Guardian had it a shutout of 54–60 to Ortiz.
[11]
Aftermath
“Next we have Tyson Fury in the rematch,” Wilder said in the ring after the bout “Then I want unification. I want one champion, one face and one heavyweight champion – Deontay Wilder.”
A month after the bout the rematch with
Tyson Fury was confirmed.
