Deontay Wilder has gotten tired of exchanging words with Andy Ruiz Jr. The two Heavyweights have been going back and forth, taking shots at each other on their social media while they are rumored to be negotiating for a potential showdown. Ruiz Jr started another series of verbal spats with Wilder after he made a vow to “humble” Wilder and teach him a lesson when they meet. And, the ‘Bronze Bomber’, being who he is, isn’t the one who backs down from a verbal confrontation and has been urging his counterpart to sign the contract. But, recently, Wilder went a step ahead in calling Ruiz Jr out as he roped in a cute family member to send a message.
The 37-year-old recently took to his social media to share a video of him with his nephew, sending a stern message to the former unified Heavyweight champion and demanding something important from the 33-year-old to make the fight happen. Wilder also revealed that he is tired of something.
