Footage of Deontay Wilder meeting up with Charlie Zelenoff has resurfaced.
Zelenoff, who signed a legal waiver assuring that he would not sue for any damages, had attacked Wilder’s daughter online.
And the Bronze bomber decided to make him pay for it.
You can watch the video below:

Wilder speaking to the Ring in 2014 about the incident said,
“I really wanted to do more than what I did, but I’m at a point where I have opportunities and I’m blessed, man. I’m aware of that.
“But, basically, this dude, man, he’s been harassing me and he’s been sending insulting messages to me where he was threatening me and went overboard.
But the only reason I went this far with it was that he went overboard. He threatened to murder me, and he called me the N-word.
“Then what took it over the top is that he said that he was going to duct tape my daughter’s mouth and when I was reading that, I was picturing that actually happening.
“One way that you can get to me is to talk about my kids in a manner like that. Then, it’s personal and I’m a different guy.
“There’s one part of Deontay Wilder who is the silly guy, the humble guy and the funny guy with a nice smile.
“But there is another part of me that I really don’t want people to see. That’s the part will come and get you.
“But I really held back, because my original plans were to really hurt this dude, man.
“Some people don’t really know that side of me, but I brought it out and I don’t like to bring that out for people to see.”
