WBA orders Anthony Joshua to defend title against Luis Ortiz
The governing body released a statement telling both parties they have 30 days to come to an agreement, or the fight will go to purse bids.The decision came just over 12 hours after Wladimir Klitschko announced his retirement, ruling out a rematch with Joshua, who added the WBA to his IBF title with the stunning 11th-round stoppage at Wembley Stadium in April.IBF's mandatory challenger Kubrat Pulev is already in line to challenge 'AJ', but the WBA's January resolution confirmed that Ortiz would face the Wembley winner.
