Wilder's trainer: "Ruiz pretends he wants the fight, but for him it's a mention next to a big name"

Dmitriy Kel Sept. 21, 2023, 6:29 a.m.

Malik Scott, trainer of the former heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder (43-2-1 42 KO), shared his thoughts about the breakdown of his ward’s fight with Andy Ruiz (35-2, 22 KO).

“Andy Ruiz did business with us the same way he tried to do business with Tyson Fury. He inflated his value. He pretends that he wants this fight, but for him it's just a mention next to a big name. The fighters and their teams hide behind the business aspect. And this is the perfect time to hide behind the business because everyone is looking for instant gratification, which is exactly what Andy did.

This is disappointing. The more I talk about it, the more upset I become,” Boxing Social quotes Scott.
