Luis Ortiz has revealed he would be willing to take on Anthony Joshua if the Brit cannot agree a fight with Jarrell Miller. The IBF, WBO and WBA ‘super’ heavyweight champion has failed to secure an opponent despite booking Wembley Stadium for April 13.
Joshua had hoped to secure a fight with WBC champion Deontay Wilder while former foe Dillian Whyte was also offered the fight alongside Tyson Fury.
All have complained at the offer from Matchroom Promotions but Miller seems happy to face him in New York in June.
Ortiz does not have a fight scheduled but admits he would jump at the chance to take on the unbeaten star.
He told Boxing Scene: “So look, if you want to fight I’m here and stop saying I priced myself out because I’ve never had no offers to fight you.
With all respect to you for all you have done, I’ll fight you for just about any money you offer me, so if you can’t work out the Miller fight, I’m here and ready. “I’ll fight you in the USA or UK.
It’s on you and if you think you’re that good and want to test yourself, who better than me? Wilder and Fury are not available and I believe in my heart to be the best, you must face the best.”
