“I saw some good things in Joshua's boxing with Franklin, but I'm sure Deontay will knock him out,” said Malik Scott, trainer Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs).

Saudi sports agency Skills Challenge Entertainment wants Fury vs. Usyk and Wilder vs. Anthony Joshua (25-3, 22 KOs) one evening by the end of the year.

“I don't want to criticize AJ again, he's been fighting well lately, but just not like he used to. I liked AJ in fights with Povetkin or White, not the one we see now. Then he was more aggressive. Do I think that we will defeat him ahead of schedule? Absolutely yes, I'm sure of it," Scott added.
