THIS is what happens when an undefeated heavyweight boxing champion gets revenge on an internet troll.
And it’s not pretty.
Charlie Zelenoff, a self-proclaimed champion “human cyborg”, abused Deontay Wilder for years through social media and phone calls.
Wilder claims the abuse included death threats, racist taunts and verbal attacks on his daughter, who suffers from spina bifida.
“He said he was going to murder me. He said he was going to tape my daughter’s mouth … when dealing with my kids, that’s below the belt. That’s what really got me,” Wilder told TMZ.
Wilder said he challenged Zelenoff to a fight at the Hollywood Boxing Gym to teach him a lesson about bullying and, ironically, to save his life.

Before the fight, Zelenoff signed a contract agreeing not to sue for any damage he incurred during the bout — so Wilder did not hold back.
It should be noted as well that Wilder is the real deal. In 31 fights he has 31 wins all by KO or TKO. He is independently rated No. 7 in the world.
