Deontay Wilder, the former heavyweight champion, is facing serious allegations of domestic violence from his fiancée, Telli Swift. Swift has accused Wilder of physical abuse over the past six years, leading to a temporary restraining order against him. She claims that Wilder choked her at least five times and engaged in other abusive behaviors, such as spitting on her and shoving her face into a pillow until she nearly suffocated.
The allegations don’t stop there. Swift also stated that Wilder gained access to her laptop without permission, sending disturbing messages to her contacts. She describes a pattern of ridicule and threats, adding that Wilder demanded sexual intercourse three times a day and once had her thrown out of their home following surgery.
These disturbing claims led to a Los Angeles judge granting Swift a temporary restraining order, barring Wilder from coming within 100 yards of her and their six-year-old daughter. This order will remain in effect until their court appearance on June 25.
As the legal process unfolds, the boxing world watches closely to see how these allegations will impact Wilder’s career and legacy. Is this the end of Wilder’s reign, or will he find a way to clear his name?
