Deontay Wilder's trainer, Malik Scott, believes 'The Bronze Bomber' is the only fighter capable of defeating undefeated heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk.
Scott feels that Wilder's small frame, speed, and power are key ingredients in his victory over undisputed heavyweight champion Usyk (22-0, 14 KOs). It seems unlikely that Wilder will even have a chance to challenge for a world title at this point, as he has lost three of his last four bouts.
Fans doubt that Wilder (43-3-1, 42 KOs) can compete with even a skilled fighter like Usyk, as he looked embarrassed in his last fight against Joseph Parker, losing a twelve-round unanimous decision against him last April. in Saudi Arabia.
Wilder's work on the Line
Wilder's career rests on his fight against Zhilei Zhang (26-2-1, 21 KOs) this Saturday night in Riyadh. He has now said that he might retire if he loses this fight, and even if he doesn't lose, he can't forget about the title against Usyk or any fights that pay well.
Scott is eager to see a fourth fight between Wilder and Tyson Fury, and believes it could happen. That seems even more unlikely. Fury, 35, is on the verge of retirement and could be in his last two fights against Usyk and Anthony Joshua before he walks off into the sunset a rich man.
Wilder has lost twice to Fury, and some fans feel he deserves a three-fight losing streak against Gypsy King. It would be almost impossible to sell a fourth fight between Wilder and Fury at this point, as fans will see it as a money grab with only one winner.
Scott should focus on Wilder's fight this Saturday night against Zhang rather than dreaming about facing Fury and Usyk because the smoking players have Deontay, who is under the competition. Boxing fans feel that Zhang will knock Wilder out and finish his career.
