Deontay Wilder reveals extremely NSFW story of how he and ex Helen Duncan conceived their daughter
Deontay Wilder has shared a seriously bizarre - not to mention NSFW - story about how he claims his first child was conceived.
It’s not your traditional story of how a couple has kids, that’s for sure.
Deontay Wilder is a heavyweight boxing legend
Wilder, a heavyweight boxer and former world champion renowned for his power punching, is also a proud father.
He has seven kids already and claims he wants seven more, but the story of his first isn’t exactly a romantic fairytale.
He told the tale to Piers Morgan and - be warned - it’s quite a graphic one.
The year was 2005, and Wilder was in a relationship with Helen Duncan.
As a piece of important context, Wilder and Duncan’s daughter Naieya was born with spina bifida, and the host of the show had just asked Deontay what it was like to raise a child with a disability.
Instead, the ‘Bronze Bomber’ started talking about the time when the child was conceived.
He said: “Her mother tried to set me up to have the baby,
“She injected my sperm into her and ran to the bathroom and locked the door, and that’s how we had her.
“She doesn’t even know I know this, but I’m telling it to the world.”
It gets weirder.
Wilder continued: “Most of her relationships only last for two months or whatever because she was a promiscuous woman,
“I didn’t know it at the time. I only found out this thing by reading her journal – she didn’t know I read her journal either.
“I went and got the towel and tried to wipe it off but she hit my hand so hard I thought she hit my hand like a home run, like a baseball player do a baseball, but she screamed ‘NO’ as if she was being r**ed.
“She got up so quickly and ran to the bathroom and locked the door.
“Two weeks later she was pregnant with my daughter.”
Fans were shocked to hear the story
Naturally, this came as quite a shock to quite a few viewers.
One said: “I genuinely miss who I was 30 seconds ago, before I watched this. We need to know less about each other.”
“That guy needs media training,” said another.
“What on earth have I just heard?” said a third.

Wilder is gearing up for a 50th professional fight
Wilder has had a long and successful boxing career, starting out as an amateur not too long after this incident, before qualifying for the Olympics in 2008, winning a bronze medal.
He also claims that he cut his daughter’s mother off and has raised her on his own after making his fortune boxing.
He was the WBC heavyweight champion from 2015 to 2020 and was renowned for being one of the hardest punchers the game has ever seen.
He lost his belt to Tyson Fury and fought the Gypsy King on three occasions, as well as fighting a number of other greats of his era.
Now, he’s set for a 50th professional fight against Derek ‘War’ Chisora this weekend.
Let's hope the tale of the tape in that fight is a bit less graphic than this tale.
