Cornerman Scott revealed that such an action is not on the American radar.

He spoke to iFL TV and said that Deontay had made his family financially secure so he doesn’t have to work to earn a living.

"But retirement is not in his plans at any time and it's not something that we have discussed."

Wilder, now 35, is unlikely to fight again anytime soon after breaking his hand and finger in Saturday's war.

Scott will insist that Scott takes a long break from the sport.

ESNews was told by Deontay that he didn't want Deontay to talk about boxing or do anything with boxing for a long time.

"I want him get some rest, especially after the events.

"Even after the fight, he was so tired. He was so focused on training and over the course of the fight, and was so happy to win arbitration.

He deserved good rest. "I'm going to make sure he gets it."

Scott was visibly agitated during the interview as he thought back to their last camp together.

He feels his man would be ten times more successful against WBA, IBF and WBO champ Oleksandr Uzyk than Anthony Joshua.
