Deontay Wilder Convicted of Drug Charge

WBC Heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (39-0, 38 KO's) has been found guilty of misdemeanor marijuana possession on Thursday, and is ordered to serve a 60 hour community service program with the YMCA.

The Alabama native last fought a rematch against former WBC heavyweight champion Bermane Stiverne back in November and has his sights set on UK Heavyweight Anthony Joshua.

In the meantime, he is expected to face Cuba's Luis Ortiz on March 3rd for Premier Boxing Champions at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Wilder was initially supposed to fight Ortiz  in November but the fight was cancelled after Ortiz tested positive for a banned diuretic.
