Deontay Wilder made a series of shocking allegations about the mother of his daughter
Former world heavyweight boxing champion Deontay Wilder left Piers Morgan stunned by claiming his ex ‘stole’ his sperm to conceive their daughter.
Dad-of-seven Wilder, 40, who faces British fighting legend Derek Chisora at London’s O2 Arena on Saturday night, welcomed his first child Naieya in 2005. But the American boxer has alleged her mum ‘set him up’ to get pregnant “because I was the best thing that ever came into her life”.
Speaking on Piers Morgan Uncensored to the gobsmacked presenter, as he alleged what happened after he and his former partner once finished having sex, Wilder said: “Her mother tried to set me up to have the baby. She injected my sperm in her and ran into the bathroom and locked the door and that’s how we had her.

“And truth be told, she don’t even know I know this, but I’m telling it to the world…” Asked by Morgan how he knew this, Wilder scoffed and added: “I’m smart.”
He said: “When we was having sex… when I came, I used to come on her stomach. I used to fold my tower nicely by the bed because I would want to wipe it off of her stomach.
“This particular time, she chose that she wanted to have a baby by me because I was the best thing that ever came into her life.”
Deontay Wilder left Piers Morgan near speechless
“Most of her relationships only last for two months or whatever because she was a promiscuous woman,” he alleged.
“I didn’t know it at the time. I only found out this thing by reading her journal. She didn’t know that I read her journal either.”
As a wide-eyed Morgan looked on, Wilder claimed: “During that time, I did what I do. I had a good nut and I nutted on her stomach. This time I went and got the towel and tried to wipe it off.

“She hit my hand so hard I thought she hit my hand like a home run. Like a baseball player do a baseball bat. But she screamed ‘no’ as if she was being raped. She got up so quickly and ran into the bathroom and locked the door.”
Naieya was born with spina bifida, a condition when a baby’s spine and spinal cord do not fully develop in the womb. Wilder alleged her mum didn’t want to go ahead with the pregnancy because of these difficulties.
And he claimed his former partner, whose identity remains unknown, didn’t have the right “vitamins, nutrients and minerals” for their child to “stay healthy”.

He also alleged she wanted to abort their baby, but he overruled her and became Naieya’s full-time dad.
Wilder – who began his boxing career that same year, before he qualified for the Olympics in 2008 and won a bronze medal, claimed he cut off Naieya’s mum, as he raised his daughter on his own and made millions in the ring.
Fans were as flabbergasted as Morgan by the tale, a clip of which soon went viral on X. One viewer wrote: “Here’s Deontay Wilder sharing the most insane story you’ve ever heard told on national TV.”

Another said: “If there was ever a sign you have been hit in the head one too many times. This was it.” A third said: “Every line just kept getting worse.”
Other fans criticised Wilder for making the claims in pubic. One X user wrote: “Why would you air this out? Even if it’s true, it’s harmful to his daughter… He’s trying to wreck his ex so bad, he’s not realising his daughter is getting got too…”
Wilder held the WBC heavyweight title from 2015 to 2020, before famously losing the belt to British juggernaut Tyson Fury.
He will fight Chisora, 42, live on DAZN PPV, in what will be the Londoner’s 50th and potentially final bout.
