Wilder's coach gave his forecast for the Usyk vs Fury rematch

Deontay Wilder's heavyweight boxer coach, Malik Scott, gave his prediction for the rematch between undisputed world champion Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury.

In a comment to Boxing News, the coach stated that at one point, he thought Fury could defeat Usyk because Tyson managed to create some difficult moments for the Ukrainian. However, Usyk found a way to win.

"Usually, my firm opinion forms right after the fight, and now I see Usyk's victory much clearer. But we're dealing with Fury, he may enter the ring next time 30 pounds heavier, he may enter 30 pounds lighter, but in any case, regardless of his weight, regardless of how big he is, if I were just a betting man, I would say that Usyk will win much more confidently than he did in the first fight," Malik stated.

He added that Usyk will do it by knockout.

It's worth noting that the head of the Saudi Arabian General Entertainment Authority, Turki Al al-Sheikh, announced the date of the rematch between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury on his X page. The fight is set to take place in the Saudi Arabian capital, Riyadh, on December 21st.

Usyk became the first undisputed heavyweight champion of the 21st century. However, there was a possibility that he would lose the IBF title on June 1st, as mandatory challengers Filip Hrgovic and Daniel Dubois were set to fight for it.
