Wilder is taking a gamble in trying to raise his profile.
I just hope it doesn't backfire

Wilder is happy with his WBC belt and happy with who he is in Alabama. Why risk losing all of that now when you can spend another year building the AJ fight and walk away with the jackpot.

DUCKER, DOSSER. You dont believe anything Anthony Joshua says? You knew the Joshua fight was NOT happening this year so thats why you went for Ortiz? Even though it was made very very clear that Joshua wanted to make that fight this year and nobody wants to see the Ortiz rematch?

Get out. Sorry Deontay theres no talking your way out of this one. You are an official DUCK. Not even to mention that the contract you have signed with Ortiz has no date or venue, remember the AJ contract you claimed you wanted but couldnt sign due to date and venue. Infact ive checked. EVERY SINGLE contract Wilder has signed since he turned down AJ cuz of date and venue has been signed without a date and venue.

I think Team Wilder and their fans think we all got a short memory so they can blame things on things now and then contradict themselves not long after. It all screams DUCK to me.

I hope one of them looses and the fight never happens. That way they will regret the big chance they had. Plus they are just making money fighting bums in the process to milk the fans.
