Deontay Wilder reveals a secret worth $ 400,000, regrets fight

Deontay Wilder presser June 2025

Deontay Wilder claims that problems in his personal life should have been sufficient to cancel the fights he lost, including alleged theft of $ 400,000.

Wilder says that someone close to stole a significant sum during his life when he fought mentally.

The former heavyweight master WBC claimed that someone close to stole $ 400,000, although there is no official, publicly confirmed police investigation.

Wilder did not associate alleged theft with any specific person, including Swift.

Partner’s claims

World Boxing News announced in June last year that Tellla Swift’s fiancée issued an order to embarrass against Wilder, demanding physical and verbal violence.

The accusations of shock occurred five months after Joseph Parker inflicted the third loss of the former world champion, and at the same time Zhilei Zhang knocked him out in Saudi Arabia.

Again, without direct calling Swift, Wilder said that a few people in his life hurt him and that his way of thinking is enough for him to spend more time from the ring.

He did not do it and undoubtedly attributes these losses to his home situation.

SWIFT, his daughter’s mother, has passed since the couple canceled the wedding. However, Wilder never publicly asked earnest accusations against him.

They included SWIFT spitting, choked her and demanding intimacy to the will, as part of the filed lawsuit.

In the lawsuit, it was partly: “I believe that Deontay is able to be physically violent against me after returning in June.

“He expressed that he has been furious at me since April and was physically insults in the past,” she said in a court application according to TMZ report Posted on June 6, 2024 and after obtaining a full TRO.

Swift did not publicly answer Wilder’s recent comments. Meanwhile, from June 2025, the claim remains unresolved in public and none of the parties confirmed the settlement or court result.

Mental Fighting Deontay Wilder

Discussing how he felt during this period, said Wilder Ring To be sincere, about cutting off ties with people he once loved.

“Betrayal is 10 times worse than a broken heart,” said Wilder. “It influenced me a lot. Many of these fights should have been dismissed. But I found out.

“There were times when I experienced the most hard times, trying to find out that I was still the same man with the same manners and mentality. But in fact I had no confidence.

“I thought that on the way during training or when the fight would come, by that time I would have everything I need, confidence, motivation.

“You’re trying to convince yourself, but so many happens in your life in your life.”

“Dagger to your heart”

He added: “I am a donor and I do not take and I do not know what it is like to receive. It is a terrible feeling that I cannot describe.

“It’s difficult to deal with people so much. It’s a dagger for your heart, and then at the end they try to take you off and bury you.

“They manipulate others that you are a bad man. It should be a straightforward ticket to hell. But I cut off these loads from me and became much lighter.”

Wilder returns on Friday evening on the Kansas combat card against Tyrrell Herndon, knowing that the loss would mean the end of his career at the highest level.

Undercard Results

Featherweight Masood Abdulah (14-1, 8 KOs) scored two knockdowns to defeat Adan Palma (14-2) by an eight-round unanimous decision. The judges scored it 78-72, 77-73 and 76-74.

Abdulah dropped Palma with a short left hook in the opening minute, then used his jab and compact hooks to catch him coming forward. Palma fought his way back into the contest, landing heavy right hands in the fourth round that forced Abdulah to clinch.

A well-timed check left hook sent Palma down again in the sixth, slowing his attack and giving Abdulah more room to dictate the action. Abdulah worked behind his jab and continued finding the left hook over the final two rounds to secure the victory.

Vinnie Kemp (1-0, 1 KO) stopped Liam McElhinney (0-3) with a barrage of body shots at 2:33 of the opening round in their scheduled four-round middleweight bout. Making his professional debut, Kemp charged forward from the opening bell, throwing hard punches and goading McElhinney.

The referee briefly paused the action to warn Kemp about his verbals before allowing the fight to continue. Kemp resumed his attack, stalking McElhinney and driving punches into his midsection.

McElhinney bent forward and covered up against the ropes under the sustained body attack, prompting the referee to wave it off. Kemp’s aggression gave him a quick debut victory, although McElhinney offered little to test him.

"Robert Garcia Analyzes Tim Tszyu's Odds Against Erislandy Lara | Boxing News"

Tim Tszyu seeks to become Australia’s third multi-divisional boxing world champion when he competes for Erislandy Lara’s WBA middleweight title next month, and ahead of the action, trainer Robert Garcia has offered his thoughts on the fight.

Tszyu lost his WBO super-welterweight title in a defeat to Sebastian Fundora back in 2024 and twice failed to reclaim 154lb honours, both against Bakhram Murtazaliev and in a rematch with Fundora.

Since then, the Aussie has stepped up to middleweight and scored a career-best win over Errol Spence Jr earlier this yearand now, the 32-year-old could join lead trainer Jeff Fenech and Liam Paro as his nation’s third two-weight world champion, if he can trump 43-year-old.

Speaking with ProBox TVRobert Garcia, who trains a potential future Tszyu opponent in Vergil Ortiz, admitted that he is leaning towards the home fighter, but noted that Lara will not be phased by competing in the challenger’s backyard.

“We can probably lean towards Tim Tsyzu because he is fighting at home, in front of his hometown, but Lara is not the fighter that brings in a lot of fans following him.

“He doesn’t have a following, he is not one that is going to sell out arenas, so even if it is in the United States, it is likely that most of the people are going to be [there] for Tim Tszyu because Australians do travel and Tim Tszyu has a lot of fans.

“For Lara, going to Australia is like going to Las Vegas or going to New York because he never has that following anyways. Anywhere he goes, he is going to be against the crowd. So, I think for him it is going to be one of those performances where it doesn’t make a difference if he is going to Tim Tsyzu’s hometown.”

Tszyu-Lara takes place at the Cbus Super Stadium in Queensland, Australia on Sunday 13 December.
