The coach of Wilder commented on the potential bout with Zhilei Zhang

The coach of former WBC champion Deontay Wilder, Malik Scott, has expressed his thoughts on a potential bout between his protege and Chinese boxer Zhang Zhilei.

Scott believes that the Bronze Bomber has all the necessary tools to defeat Zhang if the much-talked-about match with the Chinese boxer materializes.

“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.” said Scott to InstantCasinos.com.

Earlier reports indicated that the Bronze Bomber and Zhang Zhilei are in the process of finalizing a deal for a fight, which could take place on June 1st in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Wilder suffered a crushing defeat to Parker at the end of last year. Zhang also experienced defeat against the New Zealand fighter in his recent bout.
