Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs) plans to return to the gym early next year to enter the ring around March. Malik Scott, who trains him, would like to see his fighter fight against Anthony Joshua (24-3, 22 KOs).
They no longer have championship belts, but their clash will still break PPV records. They still have big names and a well-established brand. The Bronze Bomber has already managed to rebuild by knocking out Robert Helenius, and AJ, after two losses to Usyk, is going to fight on the last weekend of March.
“Hopefully Deontay will perform in March. At the moment, negotiations are underway with several opponents, but if it depended on me, Joshua would become our closest opponent. Possibly Oleksandr Usyk, although he seems to be busy fighting Tyson Fury. Joshua is available, but will he be mentally prepared for such a challenge? This fight should have taken place some time ago, let's do it now," Scott urged.
“Deontay has to be an active boxer and fight three or even four times a year. We both would like to meet Joshua. In my opinion, my ward would have knocked him out by the end of the third round, ”Scott added.
