Over Domestic Violence, Deontay Wilder’s fiancée “Telli Swift” Receives Temporary Restraining Order Over Domestic Violence Allegations, Per Reports

Telli Swift, the fiancée of Deontay Wilder, was granted a temporary restraining order against the former heavyweight champion boxer due to a litany of domestic violence allegations, according to TMZ and USA Today.

Swift reportedly applied for the TRO in Los Angeles last week and was granted it by a judge on Monday. The order requires Wilder to stay at least 100 yards away from Swift and their daughter and will remain in effect until June 25, when the two parties are scheduled to appear before a judge.

In the application, Swift — who has been in a relationship with Wilder since 2015 and got engaged to him in 2018 — reportedly accuses Wilder of choking her at least five times since 2018, once in front of their daughter and her son, and slamming her son’s head against a car.

She also reportedly claims Wilder took her laptop without her consent and sent disturbing messages to her contacts, used their home surveillance system to spy on her and threw her out of their Atlanta residence in April despite her having recently undergone invasive surgery. That’s in addition to allegedly ridiculing her constantly, threatening to destroy her belongings and expecting intercourse “three times a day.”

Swift was apparently frightened that Wilder could become violent when he returned home after his fight in Saudi Arabia last Saturday. Via TMZ:

Swift was apparently frightened that Wilder could become violent when he returned home after his fight in Saudi Arabia last Saturday. Via TMZ:

“I believe Deontay is capable of being physically violent towards me upon his return in June because he has expressed that he is furious with me since April and has been physically abusive with me in the past,” she said.

She also believes his mental health has deteriorated alongside his career since his losses to Tyson Fury, via USA

At that point, he struggled to get fights that could advance his career and he was emotionally unstable,’’ Swift said in the request for a restraining order. “He would cry and yell often in our home.’’

Since losing to Joseph Parker in December, Swift said, “Deontay has been more emotionally abusive to me than anytime in the past. I have been suffering in silence despite Deontay becoming increasingly aggressive and controlling, because I did not want him to experience any further mental health struggles.’’

It’s worth noting that the process to obtain a temporary restraining order in California essentially consists of one party filing a statement about why they think the other is a threat and a judge granting it based on what the filer claims. The subject of the temporary restraining order, in this case Wilder, does not need to be present for the initial filing, only for the subsequent court date in which he may argue his case.

Much-Hyped Anthony Joshua vs. Deontay Wilder Seems Failed; Bronze Bomber’s Upset Loss Changes Course of Heavyweight Boxing in 2024

One major upset last night changed the course of the entire heavyweight boxing division for 2024. In an unexpected twist of fate, Deontay Wilder lost the ‘Day of Reckoning’ fight at the hands of Joseph Parker. Going into the fight, ‘The Bronze Bomber’ was a big crowd favorite, but Parker wasn’t letting up, winning the fight via unanimous decision.

Interestingly, Wilder was widely believed to be the second-best after Tyson Fury. However, Parker’s brilliant performance changed that last night as he established himself as the top brass in the heavyweight division. Yet, that’s not the only change the heavyweight division will see. So, it begs the question – what about Anthony Joshua vs. Deontay Wilder? What are the repercussions of Wilder’s loss?

The fate of Anthony Joshua vs. Deontay Wilder

Prior to last night’s fight, plans were set in motion for Wilder to face Anthony Joshua on 9 March next year. However, the only condition was that both fighters must win their fights tonight. While Joshua bagged the victory via a fifth-round TKO against Otto Wallin, Wilder barely made it to the final round in the lopsided affair. So, it seems like the Joshua vs. Wilder fight is unlikely to happen!

Moreover, the Tuscaloosa resident even hinted at hanging up the gloves after the unexpected loss against Parker. In his post-match interview, Wilder stated: “I’m a happy fighter. I’ll be back, and if not, then it’s been a pleasure. I don’t know [if I still have the same fire I used to], a lot has calmed me down.” Plus, given his underwhelming performance, the best course of action for the heavyweight is to retire. However, this will reshape the heavyweight scene drastically.

The fate of heavyweight boxing in 2024

Before the upset, a fight between Joshua and Wilder was in the making for decades. So, with Wilder’s loss and the future fight falling apart, ‘AJ’ needs to find his next big opponent. What’s more, by defeating Wallin, Joshua just became the No. 2 contender in the IBF heavyweight rankings. Currently, Oleksandr Usyk holds the IBF title.

The Ukrainian also holds the WBA and WBO titles and is vying for a fight against Tyson Fury to obtain his WBC title and unify the division. So, if Usyk defeats Fury in their fight scheduled for 14 February next year, Joshua could possibly face the Ukranian for all his titles. Or, if Fury ends up winning the fight, Joshua could pursue him.

Eddie Hearn: I’m just going to go and vomit

If Wilder would have won the fight tonight, the March 9 clash would have been guaranteed, giving fans what they have wanted for years. However, after Wilder’s loss, Joshua’s promoter, Eddie Hearn, was really disappointed with Wilder’s performance. “I’m just going to go and vomit…I said in the buildup – I don’t rate him…Wilder had no idea, no clue. He lost 120-108, he lost every round,” said Hearn.

Hearn went on to suggest that the fight was a one-sided affair, adding Wilder ruined the plans for a future fight between Wilder and Joshua. “It was the most one-sided heavyweight fight. I’ve seen he had no power in the back end of the fight, and listen, it’s ruined our plans,” said Hearn. He later added, “The future is not Deontay Wilder.”

Anthony joshua

Despite being the crowd favorite, Deontay Wilder’s absence from the ring really showed in his last night’s fight. According to his statement, it could also have been the last time people saw him in the ring. The repercussions of the loss will force Joshua to look for a better opponent, which might lead to a title clash next year or beyond. Did you watch last night’s event? What did you think of Parker’s performance?

Joshua Vs Wilder:  After  Elbow Surgery Eddie Hearn Called Team Wilder About long-awaited Anthony Joshua fight

Eddie Hearn has made contact with Deontay Wilder’s manager Shelly Finkel about a potential fight with the fit-again Anthony Joshua.
The London heavyweight, who recently underwent elbow surgery, is expected to return to the ring this autumn after taking a year out and this week insisted he is capable of “taking the division by storm.”
Across the pond, another former world heavyweight champion ended his own boxing exile by stopping Tyrrell Herndon in the seventh round of their fight in Wichita, Kansas. It was Wilder’s first outing for 12 months and, while not vintage Bronze Bomber, the victory was enough for him to blow off some cobwebs.
And no sooner are Joshua and Wilder back in the picture than discussions begun about finally putting them together in a fight.

There was a time when they were undefeated heavyweight world champions and it remains one of the biggest travesties of their generation that nobody managed to arrange a unification between them.

They are now deep into their 30s and approaching the end of their careers, but AJ’s long-term promoter Hearn still believes there is an appetite for Joshua-Wilder.
“I think it’s always going to be a big fight because it’s exciting, enticing and dangerous,” Hearn told The Ring.
Joshua, 35, a two-time heavyweight champion, is 28-4 (25 KOs) and ranked No.5 by The Ring while Wilder, 39, the former WBC king, is 44-4-1 (43 KOs) and is no longer in the top 10.
Hearn had suggested that another of his heavyweights, Dave Allen, could be an option for Wilder, too, but also brought up the possibility of him fighting Joshua during a conversation with Finkel.
Anthony joshuaHe said: “I spoke to Shelly Finkel because we were talking about a potential fight with Dave Allen. But we will see what’s next.
“Wilder seems to have a little plan of wanting to stay quite active and I think that’s a good thing for him and maybe that’s a fight that can materialise.”

After Comeback Victory Deontay Wilder Looking Forward To  Jarrell Miller Showdown 

Deontay Wilder remembers the days when heavyweights were scared to say his name. But even when he was at the top of his game and sending skulls into arena crowds, Jarrell “Big Baby” Miller always wanted a piece of him.
Most of the noise came when Wilder was the WBC heavyweight champion. Since February 2020, however, Wilder has been beltless. Still, that hasn’t stopped Miller from calling him out.
That all continued following Wilder’s recent knockout win over Tyrrell Herndon. It was a win that the former champ needed, but nothing that impressed Miller
For the most part, Wilder (44-4-1, 43 KOs) believes he has bigger fish to fry. The win over Herndon stopped a two-fight losing streak. Now, he’s hoping to get his hands on guys like Oleksandr Usyk, Daniel Dubois, or, of course, Anthony Joshua.
From a pride standpoint, Wilder is open to fighting Miller. If, and when it does happen, he just hopes that the trash-talking New Yorker took care of some personal financial business ahead of time.
If that fight do land for him, I hope he already paid for his grave burial,” Wilder told TMZ Sports.
Deontay wilderWilder might be his preferred choice, but all signs point to Miller landing someone else. As first reported by The Ring, Miller could be thrown in with Jared Anderson, who, ironically enough, also shares the same nickname as Miller.
Talks for a Wilder fight will only take place if Miller picks up a win himself. The boisterous, brash contender hasn’t won a fight since early 2023, losing to Dubois at the end of that year before before settling for a majority decision draw against Andy Ruiz Jr in August 2024.
Whether Miller (26-1-2, 22 KOs) wins his possible match against Anderson or not, Wilder has heard enough of him. But the only way to shut him up is to get in the ring with him, something Wilder hopes will happen.
“I can’t wait.”

Round-By-Round Updates,Deontay Wilder stops Tyrrell Herndon in dominant return for first win in nearly 3 years

Deontay Wilder: Uncrowned has Deontay Wilder vs. Tyrrell Herndon live results, round-by-round updates, highlights, ring walks and start time for the Wilder vs. Herndon fight card on Friday night at the Charles Koch Arena in Wichita, Kansas. Former heavyweight champion Wilder ends a one-year layoff against the little-known Herndon.

Wilder (43-4-1, 42 KOs) formerly held the WBC heavyweight title from 2015 until he lost it in his second of three fights with Tyson Fury in 2020. Wilder has recorded just one win since then, a first-round knockout of Robert Helenius in 2022. The one-time heavyweight champion is coming off back-to-back defeats to Joseph Parker and Zhilei Zhang in Saudi Arabia.

Herndon (24-5, 15 KOs) also hasn’t competed for more than 12 months. Fighting the majority of his career on untelevised shows, Herndon isn’t a name familiar to even the most avid boxing fans. He has previously shared the ring with Richard Torrez Jr., Efe Ajagba and Brandon Glanton, while the trio were each in the early stages of their careers, but suffered early losses every time.

Wilder hopes the bout with Herndon will be his first of three in 2025, with a view toward building momentum in preparation for a potential major fight — or even another crack at a world heavyweight title — in 2026.

Wilder vs. Herndon begins at 8 p.m. ET on BLK Prime pay-per-view, with main event ring walks expected around 11 p.m. ET.

Deontay Wilder vs. Tyrrell Herndon – Round 7

Wilder is closing the gap with punches that are partially landing. Herndon was caught by a left hook in the final 10 seconds of the first minute. Wilder is looking for the one big shot that’s going to finish this. Two more big swings from Wilder. Herndon takes a knee, but no knockdown counted. Two left hooks push Herndon backwards and a right followed. Into the final minute, Herndon took a right hand from Wilder. And another and THIS ONE IS OVER! Referee Ray Corona stops the action in round 7. Wilder records his first win since October 2022!

Deontay Wilder vs. Tyrrell Herndon – Round 6

Now, Wilder is starting to connect with the right hand early in round six. Wilder is backing Herndon up with clubbing shots and the end could be near. A right hand has forced Herndon onto the ropes and Wilder puts together a combination. Two rights from Wilder chopped down on Herndon’s guard. Herndon’s glove touches the canvas in the final minute of the sixth and he is COUNTED! HUGE swing from Wilder. Wilder is going to work on the inside, and a straight right landed flush on Herndon’s chin. Somehow he survives the round!

10-8 Wilder, 60-52 Wilder

Deontay Wilder vs. Tyrrell Herndon – Round 5

Herndon’s head movement has noticeably slowed in this round. Wilder swung with the right hand twice early in the frame and Herndon could only partially block it, rather than slip it as he had done consistently in the earlier rounds. The left hands for Wilder are still having the most success for him. “The Bronze Bomber” is letting his right hands go, but can’t seem to land clean yet. A pair of right hands get through for Herndon, now.

10-9 Wilder, 50-44 Wilder

Live Update, Start Time, where to watch,Deontay Wilder vs. Tyrrell Herndon fight prediction, odds,undercard, &preview

Deontay Wilder: Once one of the most feared punchers on the planet, Deontay Wilder heads into Friday’s fight with Tyrrell Herndon desperately needing to find an offensive spark.

Wilder (43-4-1, 42 KO) has lost four of his five most recent trips to the ring, but the past two fights were especially troubling. Wilder was listless in losing a wide 12-round decision to Joseph Parker, landing just 39 of 204 punches thrown. Things got even worse against Zhilei Zhang, when Wilder landed just 16 of 95 punches thrown before suffering a brutal fifth-round knockout.

Wilder went undefeated in the first 43 bouts of his pro career, including 41 knockout wins, with the lone blemish a controversial December 2018 draw against Tyson Fury in a fight most felt Fury deserved to win. Fury would prove to be the better man when he won their February 2020 rematch by TKO in Round 7 and their trilogy fight in October 2021 by KO in Round 11.

Those were the first defeats of Wilder’s career and also ended his lengthy run (10 defenses) as WBC heavyweight champion.

“Let’s Get It On”: Deontay Wilder Sets His Sights On Former Heavyweight Champion After Comeback Fight

Deontay Wilder is set for his long-awaited return to the ring this weekend. ‘The Bronze Bomber’ was last in action in June 2024, when he suffered a fifth round knockout defeat to Zhilei Zhang in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

That continued a poor run of form for the former WBC heavyweight champion which has seen him come up short in four of his last five fights, having also been on the wrong end of a points loss to Joseph Parker and two stoppage defeats to Tyson Fury.

Wilder now looks to get his career back on track when he takes on the unheralded Tyrrell Herndon at the Charles Koch Arena in Kansas on Friday.

‘The Bronze Bomber’ is expected to win the bout and add to the 42 knockouts he has recorded in his career so far, and he has now hinted at who he wants next following his comeback.

Wilder was asked to describe some of his heavyweight rivals, and when long-term foe Anthony Joshua was brought up, the American had a simple response.

“Let’s get it on.”

Wilder and Joshua have been linked to a fight with one another for nearly a decade, dating back to when both men each held versions of the world heavyweight title.

Just like Wilder, Joshua has found things difficult as of late, having suffered a fifth round knockout defeat to IBF champion Daniel Dubois at Wembley Stadium last September.

‘AJ’ is currently recovering from minor elbow surgery but is expected to return to the ring later this year, with a bout against Wilder now seemingly a possibility.
