Amidst the hush of boxing ring corners and the whispers of fight negotiations, Deontay Wilder’s coach, Malik Scott, offered a tantalizing nugget that sent ripples across the boxing world. In a recent tête-à-tête with ESNews, Scott nonchalantly placed some of the most formidable fighters ‘on the menu’ for Wilder’s much-anticipated return to the ring. However, one specific call-out stood out in the sea of names.

Oleksandr Usyk, the Ukrainian Heavyweight and undisputed Cruiserweight champion, was the first to be summoned for a showdown. This unexpected revelation has sparked intrigue, raising eyebrows and questions alike. What does this mean for Deontay Wilder and his fight strategy? And more curiously, why Usyk?
