How Ortiz gets an immediate box off for the mandatory spot on the back of a KO loss is staggering.
I was surprised also but if you look at the wbc rankings #1 is Whyte. #2 is Brezeale who already has a title shot lined up with Wilder next if Aj/Wilder doesn't happen so he doesn't want an eliminator. #3 is Povetkin who is Wba mandatory with a title shot. That leaves #4 Luis Ortiz.
If Dillian Whyte decides to go the Ibf route and gets a title shot #5 Joseph Parker could end up in an Wbc eliminator box off vs Luis Ortiz.
