最近有报道说,古巴重炮手奥提兹已经选择了WBC冠军维尔德,放弃面对WBA / IBF / IBO冠军安东尼·约书亚的强制挑战权。
普列夫是约书亚的IBF拳王强制性挑战者,但奥提兹认为他的WBA强制性地位优先于普列夫。
奥提兹的经理希门尼斯说,他们没有同意面对维尔德,仍然希望强制挑战约书亚。他说奥提兹有兴趣面对维尔德,因为他们对WBA腰带更感兴趣。
希门尼斯告诉BoxingScene说;“我们正在等待WBA和约书亚,奥提兹准备面对约书亚,但约书亚根本就不想打古巴人,所以底线是埃迪.赫恩和约书亚都要明确表示他们要打普列夫,WBA给了他们30天时间,9月3日截止。
还有5天了,所以如果他不想面对奥提兹,WBA就应该剥夺约书亚的腰带给奥提兹,然后奥提兹去打巨人维尔德,这些人都是非常危险的,具有令人难以置信的力量。
如果WBA打破了自己的规则,给了约书亚一个通行证,那么我们别无选择,只好在11月4日面对维尔德,所以让我们还要等待这6天,等待WBA的结果,无论如何,奥提兹都将会打这两个。如果由奥提兹做主,他今年会就会和他们打,他不会不像约书亚和怀尔德那样胆小,他对自己有信心,他将在2018年之前统一所有的四条金腰带”。
Team Ortiz: Joshua Has Until 9/3 To Agree or Get Stripped!
By Ryan Burton
Recent reports have suggested that top heavyweight contender Luis Ortiz has opted to face WBC champion Deontay Wilder and drop his status as the mandatory challenger to WBA/IBF/IBO champion Anthony Joshua.
Kubrat Pulev is Joshua's IBF mandatory but Ortiz believes his WBA mandatory position has priority over Pulev's status. It also has been recently reported that he would need at least 3-4 months to prepare for Joshua.
Ortiz's manager Jay Jimenez says that they have not agreed to face Wilder and that they still want their mandatory position enforced to face Joshua next. He said that Ortiz is interested in facing Wilder - but with the WBA belt wrapped around his waist.

"No deal is done for Luis 'King Kong' Ortiz to face Wilder. We are waiting on the WBA and Joshua. Luis is ready to face Joshua but Joshua is avoiding the Cuban southpaw star like a deadly plague so the bottom line is Eddie Hearn and Joshua have both said that they are facing Pulev but nothing is confirmed and the WBA gave them 30 days and that ends on the September 3rd," Jimenez told BoxingScene.com.
"That's 5 days away so if he doesn't want to face the big Cuban, the WBA should strip Joshua and give Luis the belt so he can face WIlder for a super clash of titans because these guys are both extremely dangerous with incredible power.
"If the WBA breaks their own rules and gives Joshua a pass, then we will have no choice but to face Wilder on November 4 so let's just wait these 6 days and wait on the WBA. Regardless, Luis will fight any of these two - in fact if it was up to Luis - he would fight them both this year and unlike Joshua and Wilder, he is confident in himself and he will unify all four belts by 2018." |
