Deontay Wilder brought in Malik Scott to train him in the hopes of another title shot against Tyson Fury. Wilder pursued an arbitration hearing to force another rematch between the two fighters. Fury looked to fight Anthony Joshua to unify the heavyweight belts. Wilder won the arbitration hearing, and Fury’s plans went to tatters.
Fury and Wilder scheduled to meet in the ring in July, however, Fury’s camp faced a Covid outbreak, pushing the fight to October 9. The fight is now finally on for October 9, for all the bragging rights. The winner of the fight will most likely fight Anthony Joshua for the remaining heavyweight titles.

“He has been knocked down by guys who hit less hard than Deontay, he is very vulnerable. This Deontay would knock out the old Deontay in two rounds. He is 10 times more focused, training 100 times harder. It is a violent camp. His mentality is very violent. This will be the best version of Deontay Wilder that you have ever seen.” Scott said.
Tyson Fury claimed that he gave away his game plan last fight because he knew Wilder wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. ‘The Gypsy King’ plans to do the same this time and says he will run him over like he’s an 18-wheeler. Fury also stated that Wilder will not go past the 7th round.
“They underestimate his IQ,” Scott told Sky Sports. “He is not some big, dumb guy who just throws a right hand. There is method to his madness.” Scott came out with his own bold prediction. He thinks Deontay Wilder will stop Tyson Fury within five rounds.
