Deontay Wilder 's head coach Malik Scott returned to the ring for the first time since 2016, but was outpointed by MMA veteran Sergei Kharitonov.

The heavyweights fought earlier this month in a six-round exhibition fight at the M1 Casino in Belarus, Russia. Kharitonov entered the fight fresh off of a stoppage win against kickboxing legend Tyrone Spong at Eagle FC 44 in January.

Scott was competing for the first time in six years having retired from boxing after his decision loss to Luis Ortiz. He became the head coach of Wilder ahead of his trilogy with Tyson Fury, in which the former champion lost by knockout.

Kharitonov, who has only fought twice in boxing before, was being outboxed by the veteran Scott for the majority of the first round. The Russian made the fight gritty in the second stanza by roughing up Scott in the clinch, but was dropped at the end of the round with a body shot.

The fight started to get ugly in the third round as both men were slowing down. Kharitonov landed a short uppercut in the clinch and Scott took a knee, but got back to his feet and finished the rest of the round with ease.

Both fighters were repeatedly warned
