World Boxing Council heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder has once again professed his desire to kill an opponent in the ring.
Wilder will look to defend his world title against fellow American Dominic Breazeale on Sunday (NZ time), and as he did in the lead in to his bout against Tyson Fury, Wilder has sent a warning shot to his opponent.
"This is the only sport where you can kill a man and get paid for it at the same time...so why not use my right to do so?
"This is a brutal sport, this is not a gentleman's sport; I keep saying this is not a gentleman's sport. We don't have to hit each other in the face but we do anyway. You can ask any doctor around the world and they'll tell you the head is not meant to be hit, anybody can go and in this particular time we have bad blood against each other.
