Five months later, Scott boxed against Dereck Chisora . He lost to TKo in round 6. The cancellation was controversial. He reported back with a convincing knockout victory against a builder opponent .
In a 2014 WBC eliminator, Scott boxed against extremely strong puncher Deontay Wilder . Scott had no chance and was knocked out in the first round. In October of the same year he boxed against Alex Leapai . The fight was scheduled for 10 rounds and took place in Queensland , Australia . As expected by most experts, it was a one-sided fight: Scott outclassed Leapai and clearly beat him on points. Leapai never had a real chance of victory.
