He fired his previous trainer and took the help of former Heavyweight title contender Malik Scott.

Now the heavyweight will be in the same corner training Wilder to take on ‘The Gypsy King’ Tyson Fury.

After fury gave Deontay Wilder his first professional career loss, Wilder axed Mark Breland, who threw in the towel in their last fight.

Wilder accused Breland of stopping the fight prematurely. And now, his new trainer Don House revealed their game plan, going into the fight. “Deontay’s always been focused on knocking his guys in the head. We’re not gonna do that in this fight. We’re gonna fight every minute of every round, we’re gonna box him and we’re gonna break down the body.

“It’s a bigger target, and you see how big Fury’s body is–it’s a bigger target to hit, we’re gonna put that money in the bank, then break him down and knock him out,” House stated in an interview with 78SPORTSTV.
