Matchroom Sports promoter Eddie Hearn, who handles IBF, IBO, WBA heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua (19-0, 19 KOs), sees no reason to do unification with WBC champion Deontay Wilder (38-0, 37 KOs) in the United States - when the fight is so much bigger in the UK. Joshua's April fight with Wladmir Klitschko brought in 90,000 fans to Wembley in London, and his upcoming fight - on November 4 - with Carlos Takam, will have 70,000 fans at Principality in Cardiff.

Luis Ortiz never thought that a visit to the doctor two years ago would have such dire repercussions in the present. The Cuban heavyweight was diagnosed with hypertension and eight months ago began to take a prescription medication that was given to him by his doctor, and the medication contained two diuretics which are prohibited by the Voluntary Anti-Doping Association (VADA). Ortiz (27-0 23 KOs) was scheduled to face WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (38-0, 37 KOs) on November 4 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

Once Ortiz tested positive for banned substances, though, Wilder was left with little choice but to make a mandatory defense against Stiverne on November 4 at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center (Showtime).
