Malik Scott praises the form of Deontay Wilder (42-1-1, 41 KOs), who will face Tyson Fury (30-0-1, 21 KOs) two months later for the WBC heavyweight title.

“I've never seen him so hungry for victory before. He never absorbed knowledge like that, never wanted to beat someone like that," said the new coach of the Bronze Bomber. “My only concern is that we are dealing with an emotionally unstable guy, and I'm afraid that Fury just won't come out for this fight,” Scott said.

Wilder's third meeting with Fury is scheduled for October 9th in Las Vegas. Earlier, the duel was scheduled for July 24, but the "King of the Gypsies" refused to fight, citing the coronavirus.
