Of course, both Fury and Wilder have interim fights before their rematch can take place. Wilder is scheduled to take on Luis Ortiz (reportedly on November 23) for the second time, while Fury is set to take on Otto Wallin.
Wallin poses little-to-no threat, but Ortiz could derail the big rematch between Fury and Wilder if he’s able to finish what he started in his first fight against the WBC champion.
Ortiz had Wilder hurt, but in the end he was stopped in the 10th round.
