Wilder says he suffered a ‘stress breakdown’ from Ortiz’s failed drug test
Deontay Wilder says he still wants to fight Luis Ortiz, though.
WBC heavyweight titlist Deontay Wilder took to video to express his thoughts on Luis Ortiz’s recently failed drug test, which has put their upcoming fight on Showtime in serious jeopardy.
“Last night I had a stress breakdown, man. I just, I don’t understand, bro. I don’t understand why these fighters don’t want to fuckin’ fight me fair! I can’t understand it to save my life, but they do all this fuckin’ talking...man, it’s some bullshit. But you supposed to be the boogeyman of the mothafuckin’ division. You a bitch. That’s what you is — a straight bitch. That’s sad, man.
“And then these motherfuckas wanna sit here and blame it on some blood pressure medicine?! My nigga, you ain’t on no blood pressure medicine! Let’s keep it real. Keep it real to all the people: you are not on blood pressure medicine. You was just at the hospital putting IVs in your system trying to flush that shit — that’s why you didn’t make it to the press conference!”
Wilder continued on for a few more minutes, but also posted this on his Instagram page where he mentioned that he’s considering walking away from the sport, although that’s was probably just stated in the heat of the moment.
At this time the Nov. 4th Showtime card hasn’t been canceled but it remains to be seen if the main event between Wilder and Ortiz will be salvaged or if Wilder will instead take on a late replacement.
