Trainer of former world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder Malik Scott complained that it was very difficult for them to find an opponent for the next fight.
“When you’re the best puncher in the history of boxing, it’s hard for guys to get in the mood for a fight with you. I'll give you a number. We offer $4 million to potential opponents. These guys would rather stay poor than make this money. This is a tragedy.
That's why everyone is asking for 15 or 20 million. Don’t forget that there is an additional opportunity to make money on sales of paid broadcasts. Still, they understand that their lives are at stake,” Boxing News 24 quotes Scott.
Let us remember that Wilder has not appeared in the ring since October last year, when he knocked out Robert Helenius in the first round.
