Malik Scott, trainer of former WBC champion Deontay Wilder, has stated that his fighter is not looking to retire from professional boxing.
He definitely wants to fight again, for sure. Some good thi♓ngs should be coming up in 2025. For now, Deontay has just been resting and focusing on family and his businesses. When you are in the second half of your career and in high𝓰-level fights against bigger guys, rest is just as important as ripping and running.
