“Not Wilder.” Malik Scott Proposes His Fighter for a Bout with Usyk

American trainer Malik Scott revealed that he would like to see a fight between the holder of the WBA, WBC, WBO, and IBO heavyweight titles (over 90.7 kg), Oleksandr Usyk (23-0, 14 KOs), and his protégé, WBA and WBO cruiserweight (up to 90.7 kg) champion Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez (47-1, 30 KOs).

“Personally, I’d like to see Usyk fight Zurdo Ramirez, my guy. I’d really love it—two southpaws in the ring, demonstrating not just power but also impressive skills,” said Scott.

In November, Gilberto Ramirez defeated Chris Billam-Smith by unanimous decision, unifying the WBA and WBO belts. On December 21, Oleksandr Usyk defended his titles against Tyson Fury—UD 12.
