Wilder coach: Ruiz will be knocked out hard

Malik Scott, trainer Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs), has no doubt that Andy Ruiz Jr. (35-2, 22 KOs) will be heavily knocked out in the confrontation with his ward.

The WBC management appointed both boxers as participants in the final eliminator for the belt in the royal weight category, but the contracts for the fight have not yet been signed due to disagreements between the parties regarding the distribution of the total fee.

“I don't want to talk about a specific round because that would be a little cheeky, but I'm sure Ruiz will face something he hasn't seen before. He is brutally knocked out. After all, he fell after the blows of Chris Arreola, who hits much easier than my fighter. He was shocked and staggered on his feet. This, of course, does not detract from his merits, but imagine that now the strongest puncher in history, which is Deontay, will hit. So I'm almost sure that Andy has not yet encountered such strength, and he will be knocked out, ”said Malik Scott.
