Deontay Wilder’s head trainer Malik Scott believes Anthony Joshua’s chances in the potential title clash with Tyson Fury should not be overlooked.
Fury, who is the current WBC heavyweight champion, fought the former champion, Wilder three times.
In their third encounter, which took place last October, Fury overcame two knockdowns to eventually stop Wilder in the 11th round.
Fury and Joshua are now in advanced talks to meet in the ring on December 3 for the WBC title.
Public opinion views Joshua as a huge underdog in the fight – coming off back-to-back losses to unified world champion Oleksandr Usyk, who is much smaller than Fury, who many regard as the best heavyweight in the sport currently.
