And he is certainly a man with many options, including a fight with Deontay Wilder.
Speaking to Fight Hype, Scott said:
“We’re already in communications about it.
“He’s an option now, and we’re going to see where things go. Yeah, absolutely.”
“Me personally, I believe he’s willing to do good business.”
“I talked to Deontay about it. I believe he’s right there to be hit by Deontay. He’s mature and poised, and for a guy with no professional fights as a boxer, he’s still big and strong.
“In my opinion, he’s very dangerous. He’s a high-risk fight for anybody. I believe him being that big, it puts him in line to be hit by Deontay with a bomb.
“We’ll write it up to get him out of there if the opportunity comes.”
Wilder last fought when he obliterated Robert Helenius in the first round of their contest just over a year ago.
