WILDER TO FIGHT STIVERNE

The World Boxing Council announced Wednesday that it would not sanction the heavyweight title fight Nov. 4 between undefeated WBC champion De

ontay Wilder and undefeated Cuban Luis Ortiz after Ortiz tested positive last week for a banned substance. The WBC also announced it has ordered a title fight between Wilder and mandatory challenger Bermane Sti

verne for Nov. 4. This would be a rematch of their January 2015 title fight, which went the distance, the only time Wilder (38-0, 37 KOs) has not knocked out his foe.
