Coach of the former heavyweight champion (over 90.7 kg) from the USA Deontay Wilder (43-2-1, 42 KOs), as well as a permanent sparring partner of the unified champion from Ukraine Oleksandr Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) Malik Scott gave
interview to an American reporter in a boxing gym.
The mentor commented on the last fight White – Franklin, the future fight of the WBC champion Briton Tyson Fury (32-0-1, 23 KOs) against the ex-contender from Britain Derek Chisora (33-12, 23 KOs), spoke about the possible fight Wilder – Joshua and shared his opinion about the upcoming duel for the title of absolute champion Usyk – Fury.
What chance does Chisora have to beat Fury?
“I like Derek, but I need to pick Fury as my favorite. Although I want Chisora to win. But Fury – yes, everything that comes with him … He is a good fighter.

Eddie Hearn said this week that the Wilder-Joshua fight is bigger than any Fury fight. And Shelly Finkel said in an interview that he wants Joshua-Wilder next fight. What do you think if you fight Joshua next?
“This is the only fight I really want for Deontay.
– Why?
“Because the boxers deserve it, the coaches deserve it, the heavyweight division deserves it, and I also think Deontay will knock Joshua out in three rounds. I still want to see it because these are two samples from our era. The best. This is good.
It looks like Fury will fight Usyk in February. What do you think of this fight?
– I think Usyk has a great chance.
– Why?
– Do you want to know why? The mustache is smaller. It’s smaller, but it’s not right there. I believe the tactic Fury likes to use… it will amuse Usyk. Because Fury is not as fast as he was. Right now, he’s more vulnerable than he’s ever been. He doesn’t move much in the ring. He’s right there to hit him. You can take advantage of this.

“Those fights with Wilder took a lot from him.
“He said it himself.
– He fell 4-5 times. And he fell terribly.
— Yes, definitely. How did he get up?
– Was there a doping test in that fight?
– No comment.
— Franklin vs. White, did you watch?
– Yes.
– What do you think? Who has won? It was a very close fight. I think it was a draw.
“I think the way Dillian ended the show… The first time I watched, I thought Franklin won by two rounds. Then when I watched it again, I thought Dillian won by three rounds and didn’t finish him in the end. But what exactly happened was a close fight. It was a good comeback fight. Franklin stepped in. I believe it will be a tough fight for anyone. The heavyweight division is what it is. But we all know who’s king here.
“Of course, Deontay Wilder. The most spectacular boxer in boxing.
