After a 7-round technical knockout loss in February 2020, the former WBC heavyweight champion parted ways with Mark Breland and recruited former rival Malik Scott to his corner.
"Malik and the rest of my team have made me better. I'm really dangerous right now. Words mean nothing if you can't show it to the world afterwards, but I'm really ready. Don't blink, I'm telling you, don't even blink," Wilder stated.
