Wilder vs Ortiz 2: UK start time, live stream, TV channel, undercard for world title fight in Las Vegas
DEONTAY WILDER will defend his WBC world title against Luis Ortiz for a second time this Saturday night.

The American is then expected to complete his tenth defence of the WBC heavyweight crown with a rematch against the Gypsy King set for 2020.
