"AJ is a good fighter, but I see a lot of loopholes and insecurity in him as well...I extended my hand out to congratulate him on a job well done and he kind of rejected my gesture and said he was upset at me for basically backing Dillian to beat him. I just think it's bitchy for another man to get mad at another man for picking or backing his comrade to win," stated heavyweight contender Malik Scott, who had some choice words for rising heavyweight contender Anthony Joshua. Check it out!
SS: I know you were firmly in Dillian's corner against Anthony Joshua. He went in as the big underdog in many people's eyes. What did you make of his showing?
MS: I thought Dillian did a fantastic job considering who he was up against and him giving it his all regardless of his injury going into the fight. It was a great showing by both fighters and Eddie Hearn and AJ did a great job that night.
SS: What did you make of Anthony Joshua's performance in this fight and how well he was able to emerge victorious in his toughest test to date?
MS: Like I have always said about Anthony Joshua, the kid is a young lion and he's coming up strong in the rankings. Now do I see him the way the Brits do? No, but I'm a candid guy and not suppose to see what they see or feel what they feel. AJ is a good fighter, but I see a lot of loopholes and insecurity in him as well.
SS: What were the loopholes that have you noticed from his performance, and when you say insecurity, what signs have you seen so far?
MS: Well, as far as telling you guys the loopholes, I'm not going to give away my experienced eye. If we fight, it will be exploited and if we don't, then I'm sure someday someone else will exploit them. I see insecurities in AJ that I'm sure the average person doesn't see because modern people don't care about what's behind success, but only the front of success. Here is a kid that's on top of the world, undefeated, pretty fair skills, Olympic gold medallist, but after him and Dillian go to war with each other and he's in victory mode, I extended my hand out to congratulate him on a job well done and he kind of rejected my gesture and said he was upset at me for basically backing Dillian to beat him. I just think it's bitchy for another man to get mad at another man for picking or backing his comrade to win. We are in the fight business and everybody has an opinion about everybody, but you can't take it personal because it comes with the game. If most of the Brits would take AJ's dick out their mouth and go look at my track record, they will see I have had nothing but good things to say about this dude; him doing well in the Klitchko camp, him being a talented king lion that's coming up in the game, etc., and not one time out of respect has he seen me and said, "gratitude for the words you always speak of me king," but when he hears I had some things to say about Dillian being able to beat him, he throws an emotional bitchy fit in the ring after the fight. That's just a stack of insecurities in my book shown by him. You get emotional over a man having his own opinion about you, well listen, like I said before, I'm a real candid guy and walk in the life as a trailblazer and my own man, so I was telling him after the fight in the ring that I have my own opinion and if he feels some kind of way about me, then I'm number 7 in the world, so his promoter, Eddie Hearn, can send me a contract at thier earliest convenience. Fuck AJ, and I see exactly what Dillian Whyte has always said about him. He's a spoiled bitch, period! And these are also the things I have said to Eddie Hearn face to face before the fight.
SS: WOW! Strong words! That being said, I did notice you was on the ring apron when Joshua was climbing on the ropes to celebrate and AJ didn't seem to react too well when you said something. What did you say in the ring, as I seen your status on facebook and you was not happy?
MS: Yeah, I was congratulating him on a job well done, but he's the black David Price in my recent opinion of him, so he was having a bitchy fit. I must of said something that really got to him. Insecurities run deep.
SS: The black David Price, that is some statement. AJ is scheduled to return to the ring on April 9, according to promoter Eddie Hearn. After hearing your comments here, I am assuming that you would love to throw your name in the hat for his next opponent?
MS: April 9th is something I'm Very interested in, but as you can see, they are trying to get an older, non-motivated Dereck Chisora in the ring, but Dereck, from what I hear, has told them to go kick rocks because he has bigger fish to fry. Respect to Dereck for being his own man. But If they want it, I'm here to teach Joshua a lesson about life in and out the ring. But if not, don't be surprised if you guys see him fighting Jason Gavern again on April 9th.
SS: We'll have to see who gets the nod for that fight. Just before we finish, if you are not chosen for the AJ fight on April 9, with Deontay Wilder as a world champion, is that a route you wish to go down in getting a rematch with him to get to the world title?
MS: That's definitely a rematch I'm looking to get in the near future, but the difference between me and a lot of these other gimme fighters, I'm aware that Deontay is champion now and it's not like before when we fought and we both was contenders. I have to earn my shot like I'm doing by taking on hard-hitting guys like Leapai and tough guys like Tony Thompson. A couple more of those name, then I'm expecting for me and Deontay to do it again in front of the world to see. Sometimes in life, you have defeats and you're fortunate enough if you get to correct those defeats, so by the grace of God, I hope me and my bro Deontay wilder can share the ring again in front of the world.
SS: So a couple more fights before the possibility of Wilder. So what can we expect from you next?
MS: Well, it's a couple names being thrown around right now, but the fights I'm interested in are David Haye, Anthony Joshua, and someday a rematch with my brother Deontay wilder, but life isn't perfect, so I doubt I will get those fights handed to me, so whoever with relevance wants it, I'm here, ready to put them on the menu.
SS: Appreciate the time. Wish you all the best in the future.
MS: Thanks, bro.
