Wilder to defend heavyweight crown against Ortiz on November 4

WBC Heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder will defend his title against undefeated challenger Luis Ortiz on November 4th at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, according to Dan Rafael of espn.com.

Part of that deal includes a title elimination fight on the undercard. Bermane Stiverne will face 2012 U.S. Olympian Dominic Breazeale (18-1, 16 KOs), 32, of Los Angeles, multiple sources told ESPN. Breazeale suffered his only loss by seventh-round knockout challenging world titleholder Anthony Joshua in June 2016 in London.
