The American coach spoke about Usik’s chances against the legends of the past

Trainer of former world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder Malik Scott is confident that his ward would look worthy in fights against the heavyweight leaders of bygone eras. He holds the same opinion regarding the current owner of the WBA, WBO and IBF belts Alexandra Usika.

“I am sure that Wilder would not be lost in any era. I'm not saying he would necessarily rule the division, but his presence would be felt by everyone - even Muhammad Ali and George Foreman. I really believe in this. And I would say the same thing about Tyson Fury.

I'm not very confident in others. However, there is also a place on this list for Alexander Usik. In my opinion, he is much better than people think of him,” Scott is quoted as saying by talkSPORT.
