Deontay Wilder wants to use his legal ‘right’ to ‘kill a man and get paid for it’ in boxing

Deontay Wilder faces Dominic Breazeale this weekend as he looks to defend his WBC heavyweight title, and their pre-fight smack talk seems to have gone a bit too dark. According to the boxing champ, he’s literally looking to end Breazeale’s life and add “a body” to his professional record.

“Hey, Dominic Breazeale asked for this,” Wilder told the assembled media. “I didn’t go seek him, he (sought) me so if (death) comes, it comes. This is a brutal sport. This is not a gentleman’s sport.
