Trainer gives major update on whether Deontay Wilder will fight againMark Robinson/Matchroom Boxing
Wilder is one of boxing's biggest names.

Deontay Wilder’s ring return is still not confirmed, but his trainer has revealed that the former world champion will be back in action eventually.  

Wilder has lost two fights in a row suffering shock defeats to Jsoeph Parker and Zhilei Zhang in high profile bouts. 

The American star was linked to a huge fight with Anthony Joshua earlier this year, but those plans now appear to be a long way off.  

Despite a dramatic downturn in form, Scott is insistent that his fighter will continue his career. 

“Deontay has the heart of a lion and is willing to go out on his shield in the ring. He'll be back. Deontay will fight again,” said Scott when speaking to Genting Casino
 
“He still has a bright future in boxing, especially at the high level. Losses happen in boxing, even to the greatest fighters.  

“Right now, he’s doing very well; recovering, enjoying life, and heavily involved in real estate and investing. He just had a great vacation with his kids. Life is good for him.”
