Deontay Wilder left Piers Morgan stunned with an extremely graphic claim about how he became a father for the first time.
Wilder – who has seven children but wants another seven more – welcomed his first child into the world in 2005.

Daughter Naieya was born with spina bifida – when a baby’s spine and spinal cord do not fully develop in the womb.
Wilder claims the mother of his first born did not want to proceed with the pregnancy due to her rare condition.
And the heavyweight boxing star also alleges he was “set up” into having a baby in the first place after having sex with his ex.
Wilder detailed the alleged incident in a story that quickly spread across the internet and left jaws on the floor.
“She injected my sperm in her and ran into the bathroom and locked the door and that’s how we had her,” Wilder said.

“And truth be told, she don’t even know I knew this, but I’m telling it to the world.
“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.
“Most her relationships would only last for two months because she was a promiscuous woman, I didn’t know it at the time.”
Asked by a shocked Morgan how he knew, Wilder said: “I’m smart.”
He added: “I only found out this thing by reading her journal, she didn’t know that I read her journal either.
“I did what I do, I went and got the towel and tried to wipe it off but she hit my hand so hard, but she screamed NO, she got up so quickly and ran to the bathroom and locked the door.
“Two weeks later she was pregnant with my daughter”
Footage of the interview quickly spread across social media with disbelief the common feeling among those watching on.
Oscar Willis wrote on X: “Deontay Wilder shared the most insane story you’ve ever heard told on national TV.”
Connor McGregor responded to Willis’ post with two laughing face emojis.
Barstool Sports wrote: “Deontay Wilder telling the story of how he became a father is the craziest thing you’ll hear today.”
Sports commentator Wade Plemons wrote: “This is all pun intended the WILDest thing I have ever heard someone detail on national TV.”
Another posted: “I promise you there is absolutely nothing you can do to prepare yourself for this video.”
Wilder – who began boxing as an amateur the year Naieya was born – claims his ex, whose identity remains unclear, did not have the right “vitamins, nutrients and minerals” for his daughter to “stay healthy”.
He also alleged that she wanted to terminate the pregnancy but was overruled by Wilder – who became a full-time father.
Wilder qualified for the Olympics in 2008 after just three years of boxing and won a bronze medal.
He claims to have cut off Naieya’s mother having raised his daughter on his own after making millions in the boxing ring.
Wilder held the WBC title from 2015-2020 – losing the belt to Tyson Fury.
He now returns on Saturday, live on DAZN PPV, against Derek Chisora in his 50th and potentially final bout.
