Deontay Wilder's trainer Malik Scott says the former champion will not be quitting boxing after losing to Tyson Fury for the second time in their trilogy fight for the WBC Heavyweight belt.

The 35-year-old was knocked out in the 11th round by Fury in Las Vegas on Sunday.

Scott says Wilder has set his family financially secure so he doesn't have to fight to make a living but retiring is not in his plans at all and is not something they have discussed.

He says Fury is a legend and one of the best in the heavyweight division in any era, and it's the same about Wilder.

Wilder was the world champion for more than five years from 2015 and has won 42 times.
