Deontay Wilder Tells Piers Morgan Graphic Story of How He Was ‘Set up’ to Get Ex Pregnant

Wilder said the mother of his first child became pregnant after he read her journal and later raised their daughter alone.

  • Former WBC champion Deontay Wilder appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored to recount an unusual story regarding the conception of his first child, daughter Naieya. The interview has since gone viral across social media.
  • Wilder claimed he was "set up" by his ex-girlfriend, alleging she injected his sperm into herself to conceive. He stated he discovered her intentions after reading her journal, describing the incident as an attempt to have his child.
  • His daughter, Naieya, was born with spina bifida, a condition where the spine does not fully develop. Wilder alleged the mother wanted to terminate the pregnancy, but he insisted on raising the child himself to ensure she could "stay healthy."
  • Footage of the interview quickly spread across social media, with many viewers expressing disbelief. Sports commentator Oscar Willis wrote that Wilder shared the "most insane story" he had ever heard told on national television.
  • Returning to the ring on Saturday, Wilder faces Derek Chisora in his 50th professional fight. The heavyweight icons are scheduled to compete live on DAZN PPV in a London superfight.
