Deontay Wilder offers to pay for Dominic Breazeale's funeral

Deontay Wilder has doubled down on his death threat to Dominic Breazeale by offering to pay for his funeral. Wilder will defend his belts against mandatory challenger Breazeale on May 18 and then expected to take on Luis Ortiz and Adam Kownacki later this year. “The Bronze Bomber” has threatened to kill Breazeale in their heavyweight clash. And when asked on Thursday if he would pay for Breazeale's funeral, Wilder said: "That’s the least I can do, I can pay for the funeral." The champion has been widely condemned for his crash comments and could be sanctioned by the WBC. The sanctioning body's president Mauricio Sulaiman revealed the threats will be discussed at a later date.
