Top heavyweight contender Luis “King Kong” Ortiz is aiming to pull off a major upset when he challenges WBC heavyweight world champion Deontay Wilder.

The contest will headline a FOX Sports PBC Pay-Per-View taking place Saturday, November 23 from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

This will be the second time they meet in the ring, with the first bout occurring back in March of 2018.

The first time around, Wilder won the contest with a seventh round stoppage - but not before Ortiz had him in serious trouble and nearly pulled off a stoppage in the seventh.

Wilder was able to recover, and then dropped Ortiz two times in the tenth to close the show.

“My main goal has always been to become heavyweight champion and that goal has not veered at all. I haven’t lost any of that hunger. You don’t go through the torture of a training camp like this to just show up," Ortiz said.
 
“I don’t know if Deontay will be improved for this fight, but I will definitely be an even better version of myself on November 23. If I get that opportunity like I got in the last fight, I’m not going to stop punching until it’s over. I’m going to seek and destroy.
 
“Our mantra is, he quits, they quit for him, you make him quit, or you knock him out. Any of those four is us winning. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this fight is going to end in a knockout. Either I’m knocking him out, or he’s knocking me out…but he’s not knocking me out.
 
“When you watch videos online from Wilder, there are definitely things he does better now. But he still doesn’t have the experience of taking that from training into the fight. He’s got to have a plan B and C, and if he doesn’t, it will be a mistake. I have a plan for everything."
