Awaiting the next move of ‘The Bronze Bomber’

In an exclusive interview with online betting site Betway, Malik Scott, the trainer of heavyweight boxer Deontay Wilder, shed light on the much-anticipated year-end showdown between Wilder and Anthony Joshua. Addressing the question of whether Wilder will fight before December, Scott revealed, “There’s no telling if Deontay will fight between now and December. Absolutely I would like to fight between now and December. That’s no secret at all. Andy Ruiz is right there in the mix. Anything can happen.”

Scott emphasized Wilder’s business-minded approach, explaining that if Wilder were to refrain from fighting before December, the compensation offered would need to be “extremely high” due to the opportunities and legacy implications at stake. However, Scott expressed confidence in the understanding of the Saudi financiers, stating, “The Saudis understand that type of business, so that wouldn’t even be an issue. That’s something that they know.”

With the mega card event potentially featuring Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk as the main event, Scott assured that the decision on Wilder’s participation would be made well before July. As boxing enthusiasts eagerly await further updates, it remains clear that Wilder’s camp is focused on strategic decision-making and ensuring the best outcome for Wilder’s career.
