Deontay Wilder's coach would rather the heavyweight face Anthony Joshua, Joe Joyce or Oleksandr Usyk over any title eliminator with Andy Ruiz Jr.
The 'Bronze Bomber' made his return to the ring at the weekend after putting aside any plans to retire when he recorded another highlight reel KO against Robert Helenius in the opening round at the Barclays Center. He had already retained his No.1 ranking with the WBC despite being out of action following his defeat to Tyson Fury, which will now likely see him thrust into an eliminator with Andy Ruiz Jr.
Wilder included the Mexican star in his post-fight call-out list, with the governing body expected to order a heavyweight eliminator between the pair at their convention next month. Despite it set to be made official by the WBC that his next opponent will have to be Ruiz Jr, his coach Malik Scott has other plans.
