Wow I was worried when Ortiz changed promoters and his fights kept falling apart, but sounds like he is solidly in line for a title shot. He'll be almost a year older by the time of the fight but hey.

Klitschko will retire and Joshua will Vacate.

Klitschko will retire and Joshua will Vacate.

Why on earth would Joshua vacate? Not everyone is Canelo you know.

Been disappointed with Ortiz so far and think he would be easily outboxed by both

Lets hope this fat doper is on vada testing 365 days out of the year.....

bring it on.. the so called bogeyman has been fighting no hopers since Jennings & its high time he faced someone with a pulse..

[slimPickings]

By the time Ortiz gets his shot IF he gets one he'll be too old to be the kind of threat he is right now.
And his fights lately have not done much to inspire confidence in him.
Still hope he gets a shot at a title, sooner rather than later.

It will take 5 years and Ortiz will be 50 until he gets that shot

Yes, good news. a Cuban heavyweight with high Boxing IQ. will be a good match with Joshua.
