What's our understanding of where negotiations are at with this potential match up ? It's a bigger fight than the Jennings one IMO.

Stiverne gets knocked out if it happens.

Yup. I rate Ortiz - it'll be good to have him in the mix.

Absolutely man.

Freedom, is Wilder allowed a defence outside of the top 15 ?

I think so. It's different with other sanctioning organizations however. The opponent does need to be ranked in the WBC top 40.

Whoever he chooses, the WBC will put in the top 15 anyway.
