The coach of Wilder promised to deal with Zhilei "in a severe manner"

Malik Scott, the coach of former heavyweight world champion Deontay Wilder, shared his expectations for the upcoming bout between his protégé and Zhang Zhilei.

The fight will take place on the undercard of the Dmitry Bivol vs. Artur Beterbiev undisputed light heavyweight bout at the Matchroom - Queensbury 5 on 5 event, scheduled for June 1st in Saudi Arabia.

“I’m excited, I’m excited about fight night and him doing what I know he can do against a dangerous opponent like Zhang. Zhang is a dangerous opponent but he also has a very dangerous trainer in Shaun George someone I came up with in boxing.

We come up fighting the Junior Olympics together, literally living together. It’s crazy that 20 years later we’re going head to head, trainer against trainer.

My whole concern is us dissecting and handling Zhang with very violent manners. All Deontay has to do is have his thinking cap on but be violent at the same time and do something that’s never been done to Zhang, and that’s knock him out cold.” Scott said.

Wilder suffered a devastating defeat to Joseph Parker at the end of last year. Zhilei also experienced defeat at the hands of the New Zealand fighter in his recent match.
