Sergey Lapin, coach of WBA, WBO & IBF world heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk, says his men are unafraid to face former WBC champion Deontay Wilder, despite his America has returned to the impressive arena.
The ‘Bronze Bomber’ returned to action last weekend to destroy Robert Helenius inside in a roundJust land three punches to end the fight.
This has caught the attention of the department with many believing the knockout artist is back better than ever after a year away from the sport. However, Lapin said to LordPing that he was unimpressed and not caught up in the hype surrounding Wilder.
“Deontay Wilder is a name that has been mentioned [for a fight with Usyk.] Usyk is not afraid of Wilder.
Since Wilder’s last fight, I haven’t seen anything new. This guy is very simple. He went out and hit and got a very strong punch. He makes up for his lack of technique.”
While Lepin believes it’s the old Wilder, dependent on a knock-out punch in the ring last Saturday, the legendary coach Teddy Atlas believes Wilder has shown a bit of progress the way he does justice with his feet. Although, when it comes to footwork, few can compare with the Ukrainian master Usyk.
For now, Wilder still needs to prove himself a threat to Usyk and Tyson Fury’s heavyweight titles, and is involved in a fight Andy Ruiz Jr – due to be ordered to be the last human for a chance to win the WBC belt held by Fury.
It’s a great fight for fans if Usyk and Fury are tied up in undisputed negotiations, and perhaps the Americans can sign up for a performance that will make Team Usyk less anxious about the prospect. scene facing him.
