    Scott wrote on Instagram: “It’s a real learning pleasure and experience having the legendary Don House going to war with us October 9 to regain the heavyweight title.
    “His knowledge and experience adds value to the task at hand.”
    Scott, 40, holds the position as head trainer in Wilder’s set up but House will add further experience to the team alongside Deas.
    Previous trainer Mark Breland was sacked in February and replaced by Scott four months later, with Wilder describing the latter as a ‘genius’.
    House entered Wilder’s radar in 2015 when he trained Bermane Stiverne, who is one of the few men to go 12 rounds with the Bronze Bomber.
    And Wilder will need all the help he can get when he takes on Fury, 33, in Las Vegas on October 9.

    Fury is expected to defend the WBC crown he during their last scrap but House believes Wilder has got a balanced team behind him.
    Speaking to 78SPORTSTV, House said: “The team is a great team. He has a very good team. We’re all here for him.
    How Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder stack up ahead of the trilogy fight

    “It’s gonna be a different fight.”
