Deontay Wilder fires chilling warning to Andy Ruiz Jr and shockingly says he will ‘splatter’ heavyweight rival’s brains
DEONTAY WILDER warned Andy Ruiz Jr he will “splatter” his brain if the pair meet in the ring.
The pair have exchanged trash talk while negotiations continue for a potential fight.
The WBC has ordered a match-up between the duo to determine who will get a world title shot.
Ruiz Jr had wanted to fight Fury but the Gypsy King will instead face Francis Ngannou next in what will be his boxing debut.
While Wilder eyed a clash with Anthony Joshua, which could take place in December or January.
Now the Bronze Bomber is ready to take on Ruiz Jr, but fired a chilling warning at the former heavyweight champion.
Wilder, 37, said: “With my team, with your team, and now it’s time to put it all together.
“Who acting scared? It isn’t me. You know, because what y ‘all talk about is unreasonable. Let’s face it, and it is what it is.
“So when you serious, holla at me until then. Do what you do, bro. You got a lot of weight to lose, man. You can talk that talk. But only a few walk that walk.
“You know what I mean? So if you want to see what a knockout feels like, get your brain splattered. Holla at me, bro. I’m not far.”
Ruiz, 33, was not intimidated and took Wilder’s “fat” insult in his stride.
He fired back a warning that his physique will make him difficult to beat – something Wilder will find out inside the ring.
Ruiz said: “Don’t say motherf***er. You’re mad, wow! F man, why are you mad? My dad’s trying to look out for me. He wants the best for me [and is] trying to give me as much money as I can [get].
“Come on, man. There’s no reason to be f***ing mad about that.
“[You’re] talking about that I’m fat. I got short arms, but then I’m fast. That’s what everybody thinks. That’s what everybody says until they meet me inside the ring.
“[Well], guess what? — This f***ing fat chubby kid is about to hammer your f***ing a*** down. Let’s get it, baby. Come on!”
