Deontay Wilder's trainer, Malik Scott, has commented on the possibility of a match with Zhilei Zhang for his fighter.
Wilder is still smarting from the defeat to Joseph Parker in December, which led to some suggestions for the Bronze Bomber to hang up his gloves.
However, talking to InstantCasinos.com, Scott still believes that Wilder has what it takes to beat Zhang if the much-runmoured showdown goes down with the Chinese boxer.
“It’s a very dangerous fight, but at the same time a very winnable fight. After the performance we had last time we know the chips are stacked against us.
We know what most people are thinking, but when Deontay is on, and he’s disciplined, and following game plans, he’s still the best heavyweight in the world to me. I don’t have less belief in him, it was just a bad night at the office, I’ve seen the best of them have those nights.
“Zhang is dangerous, but I’m very comfortable and happy with the fight because big Zhang is someone who makes you stay alert and makes you stay elusive, he’s a big man and he can punch but we know what we have to do to operate on him and do surgery on him, that’s what we are going to do.
It’s going to be a surgical performance. What I really like about the fight is how dangerous Zhang is, a very dangerous opponent and that’s going to make Deontay even better.”
