Malik Scott believes that the Ukrainian boxer is greatly underestimated in the modern world of boxing.
Wilder’s trainer has compiled his own list of the best super heavyweight fighters in history. Malik Scott probably included his own ward here.
Among the modern boxers who are no less than the stars of the past are Tyson Fury and Alexander Usik. The latter, according to the specialist, is greatly underestimated in modern boxing.
“I’m sure he will definitely lead the division, but he will be among the leaders, everyone will count on him. When I say everyone, I mean even iconic characters like Muhammad Ali and George Foreman. I mean, absolutely everything. Yes, I really believe it. And I would say the same about Tyson Fury.
I can’t speak with the same confidence about other fighters. But I believe there is room in this list for another heavyweight – Oleksandr Usik. In my opinion, he is better than is commonly believed. I’m sure he’s underrated,” Scott told TalkSport.
Let’s remember that the previous British boxer Joe Joyce praised Usik, calling the Ukrainian a boxer with a wonderful mind.
