DEONTAY WILDER defends his WBC heavyweight title once again on Saturday with Luis Ortiz hoping to beat the Bronze Bomber at the second time of asking.
But the American also has one eye on a possible future in WWE, while KSI has been left fuming after Logan Paul submitted an appeal over the result of their mega YouTube clash.

TYSON FURY proved he is a man of many talents as he belted out his version of American Pie last night.
The Gypsy King attend the Nordoff Robbins charity event alongside the likes of wife Paris, David Haye, Frank Warren and even Peter Andre.
The annual boxing dinner honoured Fury’s achievements and raised a remarkable £150,000 to support music therapy.
And the 31-year-old stole the show when he burst into song during the glitzy event at London’s Hilton Hotel.
After he grabbed the microphone while standing in the ring, he yelled: “I want everybody on their feet, including David ‘The Hayemaker’ Haye. Come on!
“Everybody. I want everybody to sing along and join in because I know everybody knows the words.”
Fury, who recently recorded a Christmas single with Robbie Williams, then belted out his extraordinary rendition of the Don McLean classic.

EDDIE HEARN predicts a bright future for YouTubers entering the world of boxing after the success of KSI vs Logan Paul 2.
An audience typical of a major title contest watched the internet stars fight in Los Angeles, according to the Matchroom promoter, and that indicates a substantial market for similar bouts.
Although he feels the scale of KSI’s victory over Paul was something of a one-off, Hearn sees a place for future celebrities mixing with professionals.
Speaking to BoxingScene, he said: “We’re numbers people in this game. Everyone is. Anything that delivers is good news for everybody.
“What we can’t do is turn into a circus and have random people fighting each other all over the place.
“It’s a one off in that respect for me in terms of headlining a card, with a world championship undercard. I don’t think you’re going to see that a lot.
“Will you see other YouTubers fight on undercards moving forward? Much more likely.”

ANDY RUIZ JR dished out a warning to Anthony Joshua that he’s ready for business after launching a left hook in the belly of his mate.
The Mexican has stepped up his training as he plots to stun the Brit for a second time when they meet in Saudi Arabia on December 7.
After knocking out Joshua in that stunning fight in April, the WBA, IBF and WBO heavyweight world champion proved he still has lightning quick hand speed.
Ruiz Jr is engaging in some light pad work with his mate known as Zo in the living room of a house.
Zo throws a number of combos on to Ruiz’s pads – but the Mexican can’t resist throwing one of his own.
He leaves his body open and the champ launches one of his powerful left-hooks.
It catches him flush and leaves him winded as he takes a couple of steps backwards.
AJ will still have nightmares about those left hooks that left him on the canvas on two different occasions in the seventh round.
