UK pay-television broadcaster Sky has acquired rights to the upcoming world heavyweight boxing match between Deontay Wilder and Luis Ortiz.
US boxer Wilder is the current WBC world titleholder and will defend his belt against Cuba’s Ortiz at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on Saturday, November 4. The fight will take place in the early hours of Sunday morning UK time.
The bout takes place a week after Britain’s Anthony Joshua defends his own world heavyweight title against Kubrat Pulev of Bulgaria, a fight which Sky also holds the rights to.
