Malik Scott spoke about the American boxer’s ambitions to regain the world title.
Malik Scott, coach of former world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder, shared his opinion about his ward’s potential fight with WBA, WBO and IBF title holder Alexander Usyk.
According to the specialist, the American boxer wants to fight with top athletes.
“I only want Joshua, Usyk or Ruiz for Wilder. If I had to choose, Usyk for the titles first, then Joshua, and then Ruiz. But it looks like Ruiz might be first, and then Anthony and Usyk, or Si Ruiz and then Usyk.
How will Usyk deal with Wilder’s punches? I didn’t think he could handle them. He is smaller. Even though Usyk weighs 104 kilograms, he is still smaller. Do you understand what I am saying? It’s different,” Scott told the ESNEWS YouTube channel.
It will be remembered that the fight between Fury and Usyk should take place in the first half of next year.
Earlier, Wilder’s coach assessed the Ukrainian boxer’s chances against Fury.
