Wilder furious, talking retirement

By Daily Sports on September 30, 2017

WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (38-0, 37 KOs) is upset with challenger Luis Ortiz (27-0, 23 KOs) after the undefeated challenger tested positive for 2 banned substances.

Wilder is so angry about Ortiz’s positive drug test that he’s considering retiring from boxing.

Wilder is expected to fight IBF/WBA heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua in a unification fight, after his fight with Luiz Ortiz which is now surrounded with failed drug test.

Wilder could make millions fighting Joshua next year if he sticks around boxing long enough to face the British heavyweight.

Retiring now would take a lot of courage for Wilder, given that he would lose out on a career high payday against the 6’5” Joshua.

The 2 giant heavyweights were supposed to be meeting up on November 4 in a high profile fight on Showtime at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. As of now, the fight is all but off, and Wilder is not happy about it.

Ortiz’s promoter Lou Dibella isn’t sure what will happen with the November 4th card or if the Wilder-Ortiz fight is even going to be canceled. The drugs that Ortiz tested positive for, chlorothaizide and hydrochlorothiazide, are used to treat high blood pressure.

If Ortiz has a prescription for the medications from a doctor, then there’s a chance the fight could still take place. The drugs could also be used as masking agents to cover performance enhancing drugs.

This is the third time Wilder has had a fight erased during his time as the WBC champion because of his opponents testing positive for banned drugs.

“I apologize to all the fans but I just can’t deal with this [expletive] anymore,” said an angry Wilder.

“Over this last past year and a half I’ve lost hundreds of thousands of dollars dealing with straight scared [expletive] grown men and I don’t think I can take much more I’m almost at my breaking point now. I had a stress break down last night and it wasn’t healthy for me. I couldn’t hold any of my emotions back and as men we don’t want to cry but it all just came out at once, while big [expletive] vein bursting out my head.,” said Wilder.
