In an ideal world, the winners of the fast-approaching world heavyweight title fights – between defending WBA/IBF champ Anthony Joshua and WBO ruler Joseph Parker, and between WBC king Deontay Wilder and Luis Ortiz – will meet up and fight before the year is out. And it is this ideal world Wilder hopes he lives in.
Wilder, who has given Cuban dangerman Ortiz a second chance (the big southpaw’s November 2017 shot at the WBC belt ruined by his own failed drugs test) has told Sky Sports how he aims to face the Joshua-Parker winner in a Mega-Fight once he has dealt with Ortiz.
