Get the official weigh-in results for Deontay Wilder vs. Luis Ortiz 2, starting at 5 PM ET/2 PM PT.
We are just one day away from the WBC heavyweight championship rematch between Deontay Wilder and Luis Ortiz. Last year, these two engaged in a thrilling battle that saw Wilder drop Ortiz in round five, nearly finished by Ortiz in round seven, only to come back and knock Ortiz out in the 10th to remain the champ.
With a Tyson Fury rematch on the horizon, the ridiculously powerful Wilder needs to get past the only man who has ever put him in significant danger of a KO loss. The weigh-ins for Wilder vs. Ortiz 2 begin at 5 PM ET/2 PM PT in the live stream at the top of the page. Actual weigh-ins should start at around 5:30 PM ET/2:30 PM PT, and can also be seen on FS1 at that time.
Oh yeah, and there will be special musical performances from D Smoke & Bankroll Freddie.
