Wilder has granted Ortiz a second shot having already beaten him in a thrilling fight in March 2018.

"This time he knows what it's going to be, he knows what happened the first time and what will happen the second time. He looked good though," Wilder said afterwards.

"On Saturday night, I will have no mercy for him when I'm ready to do what I do. We know what's coming but we don't know when it's coming. When it does, bang, goodnight!

"Don't blink, it's going to be an amazing fight."
