Deontay Wilder left both Piers Morgan and viewers speechless with a bizarre, explicit story about how his eldest child was conceived.
The former WBC heavyweight champion, 40, has seven children with multiple partners. He welcomed his firstborn, daughter Naieya, in 2005 with an ex, whose identity is reportedly unclear.
During a recent appearance on the British TV host’s Uncensored talk show, Wilder claimed that his ex “tried to set me up to have the baby.”
“She ejected my sperm in her and ran into the bathroom and locked the door, and that’s how we had [Naieya] — truth be told,” he claimed. “She don’t even know that I know this.”
“Wow,” Morgan responded, stunned, as Wilder declared, “I’m telling it to the world!”
Asked how he made the discovery, the boxer scoffed: “I’m smart. You know, when we was having sex, when I came I used to cum on her stomach. I used to fold my towel nicely by the bed because I would wanna wipe it off 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.”
Admitting that he only learned about it after “reading her journal — she didn’t know that I read her journal,” Wilder said: “So 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, and she hit my hand so hard.
Wilder said that weeks later, she was “pregnant with my daughter.”
He further claimed that Naieya’s mother wanted to terminate the pregnancy after finding out their daughter would be born with spina bifida, a birth defect where the spine does not close properly, leaving the spinal cord and nerves exposed. However, he said he would not let that happen, because he “felt like she deserved to live.”
“I wanted to take up on this opportunity of taking care of a girl that was born with spina bifida — a child that was in need,” Wilder added, noting that at the time he and his ex were young and in college.
Many viewers expressed their shock on X, with one labeling it the “most insane story you’ve ever heard told on national TV.”

Wilder, who takes on British boxing legend Derek Chisora in the ring this weekend in Manchester, England, first joined the sport in 2005, following the birth of his daughter.
He has repeatedly credited Naieya as his inspiration to box, telling ESPN in 2017: “I love my children to death that is why I am building for them… She is the reason I fight.”
