It was Wilder's seventh straight knockout in defense of the WBC title he won in a 12-round decision over Bermane Stiverne in 2015.
In a career-defining performance against the most avoided fighter in the division, Wilder (40-0, 39 KOs) rallied from the brink of defeat to finish fellow unbeaten Luis "King Kong" Ortiz in a dramatic, all-action fight in Brooklyn.
Joshua's next opponent on March 31st Joseph Parker will be looking to do exactly that.
It was about the only aggression Wilder showed through the first six rounds and Ortiz landed a punch late in the seventh that wobbled Wilder, who was saved by the bell. If you speak it and believe it, you will receive it, baby.
Heavyweight rivals Anthony Joshua and Deontay Wilder should fight "while the money is there", says Evander Holyfield. "It was an awesome fight and hats off to Luis Ortiz". "They're in no rush to fight me because I am the baddest man on the planet".
" I've done enough calling Joshua out. That's scary for him".
Joshua and Wilder have been involved in plenty of verbal sparring, but are yet to settle their differences in the ring.

She clearly saw the amusing side of it as she laughed at her own jumpiness while Wilder and opponent Luis Ortiz squared off for the cameras.
Hopefully, the pair can meet to decide who the best heavyweight on the planet is...and then the rightful king, "The Gypsy King", can be ready to meet the victor and take back his belts they are all just looking after for him, because Fury beats both Wilder and Joshua!
"He has the biggest test of his career against Parker but if he wins it Anthony wants to fight Wilder".
"I don't know if Joshua is going to beat Parker", he told BBC Sport. I know I'm going to knock him out.
"Then it's life and death for him".
I'd expect serious shots to be exchanged and it would likely be another scintillating, see-saw showing between two warriors that can go up a gear to take the other out.
He can be beaten because he has so many faults, but going the distance with him is obviously risky as he has proven he can end a fight when he wants to up the ante, like AJ did against Wlad.
