0:00Piers Morgan:You're in a very good mood and you want to kill me. So let's get that out of the way. I'm not actually fighting you. No, I don't want to kill you. If that was the case, it would have been done. You try to make me talk about something that I don't want to talk about. No, no, I'm not talking. I said what I said. I know what you said. Look, this segment is not about him. For my last time speaking, respect that. Deontay, you've been in this studio before. Do you remember? I don't about that. I don't about that. I said we didn't want to bring him up in the first place. It ain't got shit to do with him.

0:29Fair enough. I'm a grown man. You're not gonna tell me what I'm gonna talk about when I don't want to talk, but we are gonna talk about it. I got more responsibility and you have life left than you.

0:38Piers Morgan:And as you said now - Just tell him his a**. This is my one. Who? Me or Tyson Fury? You. What? Because you're the speed one, because you are one. Maybe we'll beat the shit out of you. Maybe bring Tyson Fury back up. Maybe you could try. Tyson Fury predicted that Derek Chisora is gonna knock you out. Every so often there's a fight which means a whole lot more than winning or losing. Derek Chisora and Deontay Wilder will both fight for the 50th time at the O2 in London on Saturday. For Chisora, many are saying it's the last dance. Win or lose, he says he'll retire. For Wilder, maybe it's the last chance.

1:18Piers Morgan:A defeat would spell the end of his ambitions for a final tilt at the top. It's a heavyweight blockbuster streaming live on DAZN. and before they face off on the ring, they're facing off with me here in the Uncensored studio, Derek Chisora, Deontay Wilder. Join me now. Gentlemen, how are you? How are you, mate? You alright? Well, my early assessment before we started was that you're in a very good mood and you want to kill me. So let's get that out of the way. I'm not actually fighting you, so... Deontay, let's start with you. We've met before. Most definitely. No, I don't want to kill you. If that was the case, it would have been done.

1:55But you don't seem in a very good mood, or are you just hiding it? I'm in a great mood. You are? I mean, you know, it's fight week, you know.

2:01Piers Morgan:Talk to me about fight week, because you guys are both about to have your 50s pro fight. I cannot imagine what it feels like to get into a ring and have a fight with somebody in front of millions of people watching. When you get to this stage, you know, here we are, Monday night, you're going to fight on Saturday against this guy. You're both big, professional, experienced heavyweight boxers. with massive punches. People die in the ring. This is real, right? What we're doing now is sport. It's like theatre. It's like, you know, a bit of verbal jousting. What you guys are going to do is real. What is that feeling like as you get nearer for you?

2:43I mean, if, you know, as you train, they say the hardest part is just training. You know, you go through all the morning workouts, you go in the afternoon workouts. Sometimes you have night workout, you know, depending on where your mindset is and where you want to be come the night of the fight. They say your best is when you're performing and training and sparring and different things like that. And over the time, people don't understand as a fighter, you're drilled in day in and day out, your opponent day in and day out. And this is who you want to hurt. Because at the end of the day, this is the hurt business.

3:21Piers Morgan:What do you feel when you look at it? I mean, you know, when I'm next to him, when I feel him, when I see him, you know, at the end of the day, like I said before, the love is always going to be there. That's my brother. But on the night of the fight, when that bell say ding, you know, it's just a different, it's going to be a different feeling. You know, once we get putting our clothes on, being ready to go, we're warriors at the end of the day. You have to hate him in that moment? You don't have to. I don't have to hate. Some people have their own different antics of going inside the ring or looking at a fighter, wanting to build dirt on him and fight him.

4:00The special ones, you don't need it. It's in us and on us to be able to perform and do what we have to do.

4:07Piers Morgan:Terry, what do you feel? Me? I just want to throw up injuries. That's how I feel. What do you feel when you look at him? I see another black man who's done very well for the game, for the sport. a guy I always wanted to fight from day one this fight was meant to happen a time ago it didn't happen and I was happening so it's a I know exactly what you want but I don't hate the guy no no I don't want that I don't want to put any words into your mouth I'm not part of the marketing cell I genuinely want to get inside your heads about how you really feel Bro, there's nothing in my head apart from this cloudy space, bro.

4:52That's why I box for a living, bro. All I want to say to you is mind games, I'm very good at mind games. Yeah, that's one thing I'm very good at, mind games. I can actually go in and somebody on mind games and win the mind games. But with this guy here, there's no mind games. I want to fight him and I want to take him out. I don't see this fight going past five rounds. Really? Yeah.

5:20Piers Morgan:This guy has one of the hardest punches in the history of boxing. Yeah, listen. I've seen him spark people. Yeah. You know what? There's no part of you. You say you want to fight him. I couldn't think of anyone I'd best rather fight. I'm not scared of him. That's the thing. I'm not scared of him. That's different. I'm not scared of him, but I really want to take it to him and bring it to him. What I got. I can guarantee you this fight. People won't be sitting down. He's going to be explosive I'm going to start fast So you've had a fascinating career Yes sir Because you've fought pretty well everyone I've fought everybody apart from one person Right, well you've lost a lot of fights How many?

6:02Piers Morgan:13? That's not a lot Well, is it? I don't know, you tell me, what do you think? That's okay How many have you lost? I don't know, I don't keep up with win-lose It's not many though, is it? I don't keep up with my knockouts I don't keep up with anything I just, I mean, I got into this reason. I mean, I got into this business to risk my life, to save a life. That's it. You know, I never got into the fame or the fortune or how many women I can get or sleep with or how many things I can buy with the money. I never looked at those things. When I fight, I'm MIA. I'm gone. I'm back to my family. I'm back to my children.

6:38I have seven children. I want seven more. If it was up to me, I'd have 50. That's my life. I'm a family man. 50 children? I would love it. Really? I would love it. You wouldn't get my sleep. No, I sleep when I die. I always tell people, I sleep when I die. That's when we get the best sleep of our lives, when we die. How much do you want to carry on? You know, I've got a goal. I've always set a goal of coming into this business. It's to unify the division. I never had an opportunity or chance. That's my goal. You know, so truly I feel I have 10 years left in me if I choose to. I don't need boxing.

7:19Boxing needs me. I can retire to this day and be fine, be well off, you know. That's why we're retiring together on Saturday.

7:28Piers Morgan:I did, well, it could happen. Coming back on the question you said, you know, you said he don't look at his knockouts. I believe he does, though, because he's a man who actually got a statue around his house or back garden. So I think it's a bit vain when you put a statue on your own land. No, it's not on my own land. It's a sanctioned statue and it's out to the public. By the Black Warrior River. Okay. You should come and see it. One day you will. One day I will. Yeah, when we go fishing. Yeah. See, that's an interesting thing. One day you can be friends and go fishing and I get all that. I did a show called Celebrity Apprentice USA with Lennox Lewis many years ago, nearly 20 years ago.

8:13Piers Morgan:Donald Trump was the host of the show. Can you believe that? Yeah. And Lennox and I spent a lot of time together. We got into some deep conversations. He'd been offered$100 million to get back in the ring. And he kept saying no. And I said, how can you turn that kind of money down? He said, because I've made a lot of money. I love my family. Every year I don't fight again, my legacy gets better. because I think he had 44 fights and he lost two and he went back and knocked them both out. And he said, and I don't want to end up punch drunk or brain dead or any of those things. He knew when to stop.

8:48Piers Morgan:Other boxers, you know some of them, that they miscalculate. They go on for a fight too long or too many fights and they end up where they're a shadow of themselves. That has to play on your mind the longer you fight, right? You're both in your 40s now. Deontay, talk to me about that calculation, about not having the fight too many. I'm a warrior. I don't think about those things at all, you know. For me, when I go in establishments, when I shake people's hands, when I talk to people, it's all a feeling to me, you know. It's a feeling. I know when it's time to stop. It's a feeling that's inside will let me know, you know.

9:30Just like I do anything else in my life. It's always a feeling, an intuition of things, you know. I don't go in and think I'm going to get punched drunk or whatever. The power of the tongue is real. What you think will manifest into the world. What you speak will manifest into the world. So I don't speak of those things. I'm a true warrior. God has blessed me tremendously with so many different talents and ability and the skill to do so many things, especially with my mind, is very powerful. And when that time comes, I will know. Derek, what do you feel about that?

10:05Piers Morgan:about what brain damage well just about potentially going on too long I think life is just like I mean yourself look at yourself right now you got a new hip now because you went to a restaurant and drink some wine and you I didn't drink any why you miss a step I was told if I drunk wine I would have fallen slower and I wouldn't have broken it boxing is not dangerous boxing is dead No, it's not. It's a lie. Boxing is not dangerous. Really? You can say that? I can say that. Boxing is not dangerous. Boxing is great. Boxing is not dangerous. It's only dangerous when people take the piss out of them.

10:46There's no point of sparring with 16-ounce gloves when you're a heavyweight. That's when it's dangerous. Use 20, 22 or 24s. You protect the other person you're trying to fight. Boxing is not dangerous. How many people, if we do the match right now, how many people have been hurting boxing since boxing was created? Would you know the answer?

11:09Piers Morgan:No, we have to ask the AI. No, no, I don't mean the ones we know about. I mean, are there lots of boxers who do go on too long, who end up wishing they hadn't? Boxers go on too long because sometimes the promoters skim them out of money and they have to pay the government money. So this is why they have to go back in the ring. It's an easy way to get the money you need to pay the government. You know, there's a reason why people go back in the ring, you know. But I had some hard fights, some good fights. I made some money and I'm happy, you know. I'm very content. I'm so happy in myself. Deontay, you've been in Miss Studio before.

11:45Deja vu.

11:46Piers Morgan:Do you remember? Mm-hmm. A while ago, you were interviewed by Simon Jordan. Deja vu. Talk sport. Let me just remind you. you lost those fights and those fights were lost and you saying someone like Fury cheated you in those fights I think is a is kind of disappointing to me about you you can say what you want I know the truth I have the facts it's so hard to believe a black man why is it y 'all don't get it and that's the problem you think you get what you don't understand do you think I'm a Fury fight I don't what I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't It ain't got shit to do with him.

12:25Fair enough. The f*** you talking about?

12:28Piers Morgan:Now, Simon Jordan does have that effect on people. But what made you so angry about that? I mean, it's just the fact I'm a grown man. You're not going to tell me what I'm going to talk about when I don't want to talk about it. We are going to talk about it. So when he said we're all going to talk about it, I'm like, hold up. You know, I got more responsibility and you have life left in you. You know, so how you tell a grown man what he's going to talk about? And that just basically was it, you know? It was peaceful. It was calm. It was pleasant. Until you try to make me talk about something that I don't want to talk about.

13:01I said what I've said, and that's that. I don't want to hear about being a spoiled brat because I've talked about something on another show that I didn't bring up. It was elaborated on something. I've not called you a spoiled brat. No, I'm not talking to you, you know, about the situation where they wanted to talk about it because we was on another talk show talking about something that was brought up. That was it. That was it.

13:24Piers Morgan:How do you personally feel about Tyson Fury now? Like, again, we're not here for him. I'm not getting into what you said about him. Why do we keep advertising him? Why? We're not here. We're here for Derek Tesoro. And that's it. Well, because if you wanted to unify the heavyweight game, as you say. When that time comes, we'll talk about it. Okay. But there's got to be a good chance you would have to find him again. And when that time comes, we will talk about it. I'll sit right here in the same seat. He can sit in that same seat. And we can talk about it then. Last time I interviewed you, it was with him, actually.

13:56Great.

13:57Piers Morgan:Let's take a little look at that. He's two inches taller. He's two years younger. He's bigger than you. He's younger. And better looking. You heard that long laugh. You know, hey, all these things are true. You know, I must admit, you know, he's definitely looking good. You know what I mean? You got to commend him for that. to be where he had gone and to come to where he is now that just lets you know that anything's possible. No one has no excuse about being overweight or whatever. They can say he's a professional fighter and he knows the things to do. It's more than that. It's the effort. It's that coming from that dark place and coming back out of it.

14:39Piers Morgan:See, what I was struck by with that was just the respect you had then. That doesn't seem to be the case now. Would that be fair? Most definitely. I have zero respect for him Why? I've said what I've said I've said what I've said Look, this segment is not about him For my last time speaking Respect that Respect it and move forward I've said what I've said If you're going back, you're seeing replays Go back to what I've said I'm going to have the box of t-shirts right now So leave me alone What do you need a box of t-shirts for? Because last time I gave him a box of t-shirts That was crazy. I just said, I don't want to make you say anything you don't want to say.

15:21Piers Morgan:It doesn't bother me either way. I just think it's interesting. I mean, we're doing replays. Go back to the things I've said. Why the reason I've said what I've said? The only point I would make is that you seemed then to have a lot of respect for him. And as you said now. Just tell him he's a cunt. We'll just move on. Who? You. Me or Tyson Veering? You. Me? Yeah. Why am I? You keep talking about something you don't want to talk about. yeah i'm fighting this man right here ask me something about him do you think so yeah why because you're the speed one because you are one so let's be honest really yeah well why why are you doing the show why am i doing the show yeah because i just wanted to come on your show why because i like cunts

16:06Piers Morgan:you weren't so big i'd drop you you know what i

16:12Piers Morgan:You're perfectly entitled to your opinion. And by the way, it doesn't make it a... No, I'm joking. I like you. You're fine. I just wanted to... It doesn't bother me either way, mate. You know, listen... I've been to a lot of boxers. I actually love boxing. Listen, listen. I love boxers. I love boxing. I find it fascinating that you guys... You guys do something I could never do. Thank you very much. You know, the guy I want to talk about, that guy, he's got PTSD about that guy. So let's just move on. Which is interesting. But I'll move on. Thank you. It is interesting. To the boxing world, it is interesting.

16:43Piers Morgan:You can't pretend it's not. And given that your ambition is to hopefully unify the whole heavyweight game, at some stage you may have to talk about it. Yeah, I got to get past him first. Right. So he's irrelevant right now. You said an interesting thing to Simon Jordan, which I thought was really interesting. You said to him, he'd never understand. I should get on very well with Simon. Do you? I do. How did you get along with Simon? I think he's brilliant. You know why? Because in a world where people are terrified of expressing opinions, he will say what he thinks. People may not like it. I like Simon, but I believe that.

17:22You might not like him for having an opinion,

17:24Piers Morgan:but he's not afraid to express it. Even when your size, with your punching record, he was not afraid to say what he thinks. I respect that. I'm not going to be afraid to speak my eyes. Everybody know that. I speak my opinions. Do you want to? I respect that too. My thing is don't edit it. Don't have an hour-long show, then edit it to benefit yourself. Do you know what we do on this show? You edit things to make yourself look good. That's it. You want to say it? Yes, it was a lot of things said. On this show? Yeah, well, not on this one, on that show. There was a lot of things edited that wasn't given to the people, the public.

17:56If you're going to have me here and you're going to interview me, give it to the people. Give it forward to the people. Don't edit it and make it seem like you sound good or make it seem like I'm the bad guy. All y 'all do it. All you journalists do it.

18:12Piers Morgan:Can I get a word in? You do it all the time. Do not judge me. That's why I got my own camera. Do not judge me. This time, we brought it. Where's your camera? Here? I can guarantee you, the reason this show is called Uncensored is we don't edit stuff. This will go out, including what you just called me. This will go out. Hopefully that will go viral. I will get loads of people to watch, and I'll end up fighting the winner of these two with my broken hip, which would be the greatest thing that has ever been marketed into his own history. But we are uncensored. I believe in uncensored. I believe in you saying what you really want to say, and we don't edit it.

18:47Piers Morgan:If you want to talk for half an hour about it, no problem. I'm not going to chop you up to make you look bad. Why would I? That's what y 'all do. I don't. I'm not all. Why are you brandishing me? It's like me saying all boxes are something. Why would I do that? Why wouldn't I judge you individually? We'll see when you bring it out. Well, I'll bet you your purse from this fight that I don't edit it. You going to take that bet? I'm not going to take that because I don't know. Come on. I don't know how you do this. How confident are you? I'll bet you your purse we don't edit this in. I'm confident because you like numbers.

19:20Piers Morgan:This will go out exactly as we're doing it. Yeah. And I'll bet you your purse. Yeah. Go on. You want to take it? No, I'll bet you a cigar maybe. What kind of cigar? I don't know anything you want. Well, if it's a Monte Cristo number two... OK, done. ...then we're talking. Done. Deontay, the point I was going to make was, you made an interesting point to Simon Jordan in the middle of that furore, about your upbringing, that no one really quite understands what you've come from. And I thought it was really interesting to remind my viewers that you come from what many would consider poverty. I don't know how you would describe it.

19:55Piers Morgan:In Tuscaloosa and Alabama, I've been there. you were raised in a very loving household by your father, Gary, a church minister, a heavy equipment operator. Your mother had left the family so a lot of the heavy lifting of the parenting was done by your father although I think your mother came back later. He was paid at$635 every other week your dad to take care of you and your siblings and you said that from that point forward life was survival mode Gary your dad said that survival mode talk to me about that I grew up in a loving family you know I didn't know how hard life was until until I became older having my own children and he expressing it you know there are no times you know a child you know do as a child you know you do as a child does you know you go and play you you be respectful you don't get in grown folks business you don't sit in the same room as grown folks as they're discussing things so we rather didn't know a lot of things was going on you know a child live life as life is presented to them you know So many things that we had to go through, many struggles that we had to go through.

21:16But, you know, it was normal to us. We didn't understand things. Until you get older, you realize and you see certain things and certain things have happened. You know, certain things you may see as a child that you really don't supposed to see. You know, so it was a, although it was filled with love in my household, it still was a rough upbringing. It still was a struggle in life. You know, I saw my daddy had to sacrifice many things, even eating. You know, he fed us. Only what he ate was the scraps from our place and different things, you know. Kept a clean house. You know, we was well-mannered.

21:51We was very respectful, being that he was the pastor of the church. You know, we represented him, you know. But it was a lot of things that occurred, you know, that we had to go through as children.

22:05Piers Morgan:What does he feel about what you've achieved with your life? He's a proud father. You know, I broke the curse. I broke the chain for my family. And we still live on to this day, you know, the generational curse of things. So now I have generational wealth for my family. My children never understand what I've been through, nor with their family, with their children and their children. And that's just how the cycle is supposed to cycle itself out, you know. I interviewed Cristiano Ronaldo, the footballer, a few times. But the one that really struck me was something he said. He's got a son who's playing for Portugal, a very good player, really talented, under 16.

22:44Piers Morgan:But he said, there's one thing I can never give him. And I said, what's that? He said, hunger, actual hunger, where you can't afford to eat. And it struck me, you probably can empathise with what he's getting at, that when he was young, Cristiano, they had no money. He was literally hungry for food. And that can be an unbelievably motivating thing to somebody. Most definitely, you know. There's this way, sometimes, life is dealt with certain people in life that you have to deal with how life is, you know. It's the survival of the fittest, you know. The strongest survive in this world, And sometimes you can't help where you're born.

23:33You can't help who you're born to, the place that you're born, the situation. Sometimes people wake up in negativity. I always say, how can you be positive when every day you wake up is negative things or you wake up in negativity around? It's hard to be positive when you see that and you have a system that is built to keep you down. The system ain't built to keep you up and make everybody rich and go somewhere. is it's built to keep the rich rich and the poor poor you know and if you have that mentality you're going to stay down then you're going to stay down i don't have that mentality you know if i'm down i'm going to get back up every time you have to literally lean over me and shoot me in my head until you don't see no breath in me and even still i'm still going to fight you got to kill me one to the head two to the chest kick me a little bit too to make sure i don't wiggle or wobble you understand me i'm tough when god made me he made the best and this is how i am the strongest the struggle if you ain't been through a struggle you'll never survive in this world no matter where you go you can place me anywhere in this world i'll survive i'm gonna come out strong derek what do you feel hearing that it's a long night it's a long night you're gonna have to keep banging him over I'm going to give back him up a long fucking night.

24:56But I know he's a stubborn guy, but don't worry, we'll slow him down. We're going to beat him up.

25:01Piers Morgan:But in terms of the journey he's been on with his life, is there stuff in there that you look back at your own life and you can think, yeah. Listen, he's been through a lot. I think half of Alabama's been through a lot, you know. That's not only him, because when he's saying that, that means half of every black man out there was going through that in Alabama. Do you understand? So even to this day they're going through that. So yeah, it's been a lot. I went through that a little bit, but not as tough as he is. Well, you grew up in Zimbabwe. Yeah. You were brought up by your grandparents until you moved to the UK when you were 16.

25:41Piers Morgan:You then lived with your mother in Finchley. So a little bit unconventional. What did your upbringing teach you about life? You know, talk about my upbringing, bro. Why not? Because I don't want to. Why? Huh? Why? I don't want to. No, but why? I don't think of a boxing. Sure, but it's made you who you are. Yeah. But that's me. Hmm? Yeah, I grew up. I came here. I lived in Hampstead. What else is there to say? I have no idea. That's why I'm asking you. I lived in Hampstead in a very posh neighbourhood. That's it. So a comfortable life? Very comfortable life. Nothing when you look back, when you think...

26:19Piers Morgan:Nothing to look back on. No adversity? No, I enjoyed everything part of it. Really? Yeah. Made me who I am today, you know. Same as him. If he didn't go through those struggles with his father, he won't be the same. He won't be sitting there. So I enjoyed every part of it, you know. I enjoyed it. Who are your idols in sport? Myself. Actually, I say that about... No, no, I'm telling you, myself. Because half of the people I know that have quit already by now. They're not stubborn as me. So I myself, because I motivate myself. I wake up in the morning. I do what I need to do. I respect myself. So I'm going to tell myself I have to run these miles.

27:00I'll run those miles because I respect myself. And I motivate myself and I look up to myself. Because I've seen, when I start boxing, I've seen firefighters come in. Great fighters. Some of you know them. Danny Williams, Mike Cross. Yeah, yeah. Great fighters. But after all, when it's all said and done, nothing. You know? I turned over pro when they were fighting and I'm still fighting now because I'm very stubborn and I look up to myself and I like what I do every day Do you? Yeah, I enjoy it you don't understand I enjoy it Explain that to me

27:33Piers Morgan:I enjoy it I've been doing rehab for my hip for 10 weeks it's nearly killed me Yeah, I enjoy it The physio the hydro the thing the yumping around on one leg it's like it's torture for me for someone like me How do you discipline yourself in your 40s to just Why you complain? I don't need to complain because I'm training to fight a man when I'm getting paid to. Do you understand? I get paid to train. I enjoy it. I love it. You know, I can't get enough of it. I can't. It's difficult to get enough of it. I love it. I'm in the gym every day. A lot of people think, they look at your career and they think, yeah, you've lost 13 times, but actually, recently, you're on a pretty rich vein of form that you're improving like a fine wine.

28:21Piers Morgan:I am that fine wine. How do you feel about that? I am that fine wine. I'm that Bordeaux you drink yourself with runs. I love it. Yeah, you know, I am that fine wine. You know, yes, I'm on a good run. That's the reason why I'm on a good run is because I gave myself to the Lord, you know, born again. You know, I'm doing very well. I respect everybody. When did you do that? I don't know when I stop drinking. I've been sober now for eight years. And you turned to God then? Turned to God then. Smoked cigars like yourself sometimes, half and half. Do you miss the drinking or not? I don't miss it at all.

28:57Nothing. I don't miss none of that.

28:59Piers Morgan:What was it that made you just go, I'm done? It was a fight in Monaco. I lost to Caballel. But I was happy. You know when you look at something, you look at it like, you know what? was I meant to lose that fight? And at that second, I was like, you know what? Maybe this will show me a new light. I came back here in London. I had a massive fight, and then they killed somebody, went to court, you know, did some stuff, and then came out. And then my mom goes, is this how you want to be remembered? I'm like, what do you mean? Because she bought a book out for me. Like, all the fans I've paid, people I've paid money, and it's calculated.

29:39I'm like, wow. Really? Yeah. It's because something has to change some because you're just making money and giving money away because you're beating, having fights with people and you have to pay fines. And then that day, that was it. I just, it was the end of the year. Had my last hurrah drinking, you know, and then that was it. Born again. Don't drink alcohol. Eight years now. That takes great self-discipline. Yes, you have to be disciplined. At the same time, I will not quit. I didn't want to retire from boxing when people tell me it's time for you to retire and I said no I'm going to carry on people are like why why I'm like why should I not because you got a weak heart and a weak mind so I should leave boxing because you can't do what I do now so I carried on You're agreeing with that Deontay

30:28Piers Morgan:Most definitely I mean you don't know what it is or what a fighter has to go through like I keep saying a warrior when a warrior has a warrior mentality it's just different you know you casual people You know, you look at something and boxing sitting in your seats, whether you in the stands or where you close up and you see certain things and you don't know what it is to be in the ring because you've never been in a fight in your life, you know, or ever have to fight for your life. And then when you see the outcome, people, oh, you should quit. You should give up. This is this is that, you know, who are you to judge?

31:06You know, I'm not speaking to you. I'm speaking to all that have looked at a fighter and tell them they should quit or whatever the case may be. You know, they don't know what it takes. We don't come on nobody else's job and tell them you're not doing a good job. You ain't good at what you do.

31:22Piers Morgan:Actually, people say that about me all the time. That's okay. I don't mind. You know, they don't do this. They don't put the hours in. They don't put the time. So like you said, the trainers say it takes 10 ,000 hours to establish something and be great at it. you know nobody put the hours in the the the early morning runs the you know the beat your body up you know to go and get physio done to your body and then to do it all over again the next day you know repeat over and over and over again nobody knows what's that take but it's quick to say oh you need to give up you need to quit because you had a bad night or whatever you know that's why you got to have a strong mind within yourself do you ever get like i don't know you put yourself in this position but you ever go out and some big lump wants to come on fight you i never had it happen really you know thank god you know i'm a different man in this lennox told me that when he used to go out in new york he's got to harlem and places and the biggest guy in the club would come and try it on i said to him well what happened he went he said dude what do you think happened i was a heavyweight champion of the world it's different with me you know my energy don't possess that.

32:34When I go places, I come with love. My energy is come with love, you know. Oh, bro, leave the love alone. Please, please. But it's true. It's true. It's true. It's true. Now, as a fighter, if you go into establishment and you bring that, you got the band up in here and you bringing that, people are going to react to it. At least for me, my experience. I don't know how it is with anybody else. But when I come, the energy that I display is what carries throughout. You know, I've been around some of the most toughest, some of the hardest gang leaders. And so when I come in, because of how my energy is, it reciprocates from other people.

33:13So they come and they see me hugging and hugging on guys, you know what I'm saying? I love you, bro. This isn't it. The whole atmosphere is like that. I've never been in an establishment full of men or whatever, or it can be a mixture of men and women, where I had to come out there and had to fight anyone or whatever. It's always been the opposite. They've always wanted to protect me or they invite me over to the table. That's even in any country. He's not having any of this. His life could be different than mine. I'm just telling you my story.

33:44Piers Morgan:I get it. I get it. I respect it. Why are you laughing at this? I'm not laughing. I'm just amusing myself. What's funny? He's got too much love. Yeah? I hope you don't bring that love to the ring. They say love hurts. I'm still going to whoop you because I love you. You know what I mean? I'm still going to whoop you because I love you. Derek, do you get into trouble when you're out? Or do people try and get you into trouble? No, no, no. I don't get into trouble. I make trouble. Right. I go out looking for violence. Have you had people try it on with you? Yeah. What happens? Just come out of my car and show them what time it is.

34:25Really? Yeah. I don't got time for that. Do you actually fight people if they try it on with you? Yeah. How often does that happen? If any time, I'll pee somebody else from going for school, even in school drop-offs. Because back home, we popped the trunk. If you can't fight, you're going to pop the trunk. Right. And it's a different thing. Yeah, but it's the pro-Americans. They can't fight. You can't do all that. They have to bring guns out. But in London, we like to scrap. Really? Yeah. You still do that? Mate, I love a scrap. Really? Yeah. What, you'll go out and just get into a scrap? I will go out looking for a scrap.

35:00No, you're winding me up I swear to God You don't understand But aren't these like considered dangerous weapons Who cares I would go out looking for a scrap because I want one And do people try because they want to test you Because they don't It's just madness, I don't know why

35:16Piers Morgan:You're just a natural fighter I just like to scrap, yeah I tell you what, one day I was having lunch with my wife And then a group of guys came Suddenly I just got up I'm ready to swing why my wife goes to me they fans they want photos why did you want to attack them because i like to swing yeah but they're perfectly innocent people i don't give a fuck really yeah well should i be getting worried if you talk shit yeah you might get some i don't know i'm joking but i like no i'll be honest can you get that threat on camera just in case i like to swing there's no i i i I don't have any entourage.

35:57Any bodyguards? Nobody. Just you? I just came today by train. Train was packed. I had two seats. Because I like to swing. My bag was on the seat. People were like, move your seat. I'm like, no. You can stand up. Give a fuck. But if an old lady comes, I'll give her the seat. I like to swing.

36:13Piers Morgan:What do you think about this country now? Well, are you smart? I listen. What do you really think? What do I really think? Do you want my honest opinion? Yes, I do. Do you really want my own opinion? Uncensored. Yeah, uncensored. I believe they're trying to divide us by saying there's too many Muslims and they're taking over, but really and truly it's not. It's just only the Christians lost their ways. Every problem they always have, there's a problem with Muslims, but there's no problems the problem is for the government to understand the only person I hate running in the government is our London mayor because right now in roads I drive at 30 miles an hour I have to drive them at five miles an hour because he's changing the the but it is what it is to understand but there's just trying to divide us that's all Americans a lot of Americans do have this weird impression of Britain that we are literally overrun by Muslims I'm like have you come to this country i mean i walk around i'm not overrun by anyone exactly you know so we don't know but it's the tv but you know what folks in this country okay you know okay we'll get my boy in soon john so you've not been here i think for 13 years to the uk all right i mean i've been back and forth you know i come over you haven't fought here since i haven't fought here since 2013 yeah but I've been back and forth.

37:49Piers Morgan:What do you think of this country? I mean, they showed me love and I showed love back. And that's just how I roll. You show me respect, I'm going to show you respect. Your energy, how you come with me, I'm going to give it the same way back. And that's just how it is. And then my brothers will tell you that. I've got a lot of brothers here. You might get a bit of a hostile reaction in the O2 on Saturday, only because you're fighting a Brit. That's understandable, but it's going to be the same. I've got a lot of fans here as well. You know, I'm going to have a lot of people against me, but I'm going to have a lot of people with me as well.

38:21You know, that's going to be here. I got a lot of people coming from America coming over as well. It's going to be a good fight, for sure.

38:28Piers Morgan:What's your view of your president? What's that? What's your view of your president, Trump? You know, I don't get into politics at all. I don't get into politics. I don't get into all that stuff, you know. The world is what it is, and as the people, we can make it better. you know we are the people you know without us nothing is possible if we come together and we we make commands and demands of things you know we can stop we can we control a lot of things you know but a lot of people live in fear and and when you live in fear you always going to be controlled you know so that's my that's my thought on that he keeps laughing because they want me to They don't want us to sell the fight.

39:14It's like we're on fucking Jeremy Cog's fucking shoulders. Like we have to talk about fucking problems in politics. They say sell the fight. Well, go on then. How do we sell it? Well, go on then. Maybe we'll be eating the shit out of you. Maybe bring Tyson Fury back up. Maybe you could try. Definitely try. I mean, like, how the fuck do we sell the fight?

39:36Piers Morgan:Well, why don't we suggest this? Tyson Fury predicted that Derek Chazora is going to knock you out. he's 100 % right tell him to put his money on him put his money where his mouth is that's where anybody else they have an opinion is there any chance this guy knocks you out? it's a possibility all things can happen but I don't see it that way you know a heel wilder is a dangerous wilder I'm backing them better baby you understand me? the way I move, the way I talk the way I feel is different when you're at the bottom ain't nobody down there and there's only one place to go. It's back to the top.

40:16When you climb, you know, God has been good to me. And I always say, Jesus Christ, Son of God, come into me. And when I allow the Holy Ghost to come into me, I have no fear. No fear lives around me or in me. So when I come into that arena, I'm not afraid. I'm not scared of nothing. I don't care who's coming. I don't care about Derek coming. I want him to come. I want all the pressure that he's going to bring. I want all the power, all the overhand rights, all the awkwardness that he's going to bring. That's what's going to make a great fight. That's what I'm here for. Where do you think he's weak in the ring?

40:49Why would I tell him here? So he can go work on his weakness.

40:53Piers Morgan:Well, he hasn't got much time. He's only got five days. You know, we got 24. He still got 24 hours in a day. That's enough time for anything, you know. We have enough time to do a lot of things. It's just like when we say we're old. You ain't old, you're getting older. We have enough time to do a lot of things in this world. We have enough time to change the world. You know what I'm saying? So if you have a mindset, you don't have enough time, then, you know, it's over with. Derek, life can throw like weird random curve balls at any moment, right? I'm thinking of Anthony Joshua and the terrible crash that he had that his two great friends died in.

41:33Piers Morgan:I'm thinking of Tiger Woods a few days ago. So, you know... Tiger Woods, that's his own problem, right? Yeah, no, of course, listen, I'm not... Because without that kind of money, you get a driver and you're going to go out drinking. Of course, of course. And everyone can be judgmental about it. And anyway, my point being, you never know when you can't control perhaps your potential for a curveball. But you never know in life, right? Yeah. Anything can happen. What is, as you've got a bit older, as you've hit your 40s, as you're contemplating retirement, what do you feel about what you want to achieve with your life?

42:06Mate, my biggest achievement I want to do, I want to walk my kids down the aisle. That is the best thing ever. How many do you have? I've got three. I've got two girls and a boy. I want to walk my kids down the aisle as a dad and give the dad's speech, a shitty one, but a good one for me. I would actually pay good money to hear you do a father of the bride's speech. I want to do that. I want to do that with my girls, you know, so I can hang out with my grandkids, you know, because that's what I want to achieve, you know, I raised my kids to be better people in life. Anything else is just a bonus.

42:39Piers Morgan:And if your son wanted to be a boxer, what would you feel? I would be like, yes. Really? Yeah. Even with all the relative... That's us boxing. Boxing is full of scumbags. That's why we love the sport. Because everybody in there is a scumbag. Even him is a scumbag. Yeah, this is why we love it. We love the dodginess of it, everything about it. You know the weird thing is, I've interviewed a lot of boxers You're not I mean compared to Hollywood You're not even at first base As scumbags There's an honesty about boxers Which I really like No no But behind the scenes There's some Of course A lot of skullduggery Yeah But actual boxers themselves When I compare you to say Movie stars Right There's an honesty about What you guys do Oh yeah Because at the end of the day We just want to win And when we win It's all hugs and kisses It's love Deontay Keep that love away Wait for me right now.

43:33Come on, man. Love. Come on, man. Look at me. Love. I'm here trying to sell a pay-per-view. Give the fucking love away from me. Fucking love, bro. What the fuck do you smoke before you come here? Let me tell you what.

43:47Piers Morgan:I think the idea of you getting me in the ring and pasting me will be what sells this pay-per-view. Oh, Jesus Christ. Deontay, you've got seven children, like you said. Yeah, man. One is your daughter, Niaia. I think the name is her name. Niaia. Niaia. who was born with spina bifida, which is obviously a very serious condition. What impact has that had on your life and your feelings as a father? It had a strong impact on my life because I chose to keep her. Her mother didn't, you know. Her mother tried to set me up, you know, to have the baby. You know, she ejected my sperm and her and ran in the bathroom and locked the door.

44:27And that's how we had her. Really? Yeah. You know, truth be told, she don't even know I know this. Wow. But I'm telling it on to the world. How do you know that? I'm smart. You know, when we was having sex, you know, I used to, when I came, I used to come on her stomach. You know, I used to fold my towel nicely by the bed because I would want to wipe it off of her stomach. This particular time, she chose that she wanted to have a baby by me because I was the best thing that ever came into her life. Most of her relationships only last for two months or whatever because she was a promiscuous woman.

45:03I didn't know it at the time. I only found out this thing by reading her journal. She didn't know that I read her journal either. So during that time, I did what I do. I had a good nut and I nutted on her stomach. This time I went and got the towel and tried to wipe it off. She hit my hand so hard. I thought she hit my hand like a home run, like a baseball player do a baseball bat. But she screamed, no, as if she was being raped. She got up so quickly and ran into the bathroom and locked the door. Two weeks later, you know, she liked to go clubbing and drinking with her girls and stuff. Okay, cool.

45:38But this particular moment in time, she knew she was pregnant. So she was pregnant with my daughter. But she didn't do all the right things to, you know, take her prenatal vitamins and things, the nutrients and the minerals that needs for the needed for my daughter to stay healthy. You know, she just was worrying about this child having my child, but my child ended up with spina bifida. So going into the doctor's office, we had an opportunity to terminate the pregnancy, but it's just something in my heart. I just want to, I just felt like she deserved to live. I wanted to take up on this opportunity of taking care of a girl that was born with spina bifida, a child that's in need.

46:19She needed me as I needed her. Her mother had no remorse, had no feelings about it because she didn't even think I was going to make the decision that I made. We were still in college. So she probably thought that I was going to terminate the pregnancy so she can attempt to trap me again. You understand me? So when I dedicated myself to having my child, that was it. That was my whole life. That was everything. So from that point, I knew I couldn't go to school to be a professional athlete or anything like that. I had to dedicate everything to my daughter. I knew that school wasn't the option for me to be a professional, but I was in the school of hard knocks.

46:58I never looked for trouble, but trouble always came my way. So I've always had to handle myself streetwise, no matter what. You know, there's so many stories about me that I forgot that it even happened. People have to remind me sometimes, and I don't even remember. that's how many wars I've been in since a boy. So when I hear about certain things, I keep my mouth closed because sometimes I have a fade memory of certain things. I've done so much. I'd have been in so many fights. I don't even want to bring it up. Sometimes it gives you PTSD. That's why I say when I come from how I was raised and stuff like, although I was raised under a good family, but that don't mean, you know, that the devil is not here to intervene upon your father's prayers, upon your mother's prayers, or your grandma prayers because the devil is listening too.

47:44He's going to come in and disturb as well. So I had many people to try to come and try to harm her.

47:50Piers Morgan:Where does your daughter live now? She lived with me. And has done ever since? Oh, most definitely. And her life has been better ever since. And do you have any contact with the mother? Never. I blocked her. I don't want contact. Why? She's a deadbeat. Does your daughter ever see her? I have three deadbeat mothers on my hand. You know, I had a vision I would have all my children. And God is so beautiful. He's so great. You understand me? I don't go and bash the mothers though. I don't go and do that I don't use my platform with certain things to say this and say that I Let life does what it gonna do, you know, I mean, I'm a beautiful father You understand me?

48:27I love my children to death When a father when you have a father's love in the household The success rate is to the through the roof through the sky You know, I've been through all that where they they want me to see my kids where I had to take the milk and the pampers and knocking on the door. It's Derek trying to make me a deadbeat, but that wasn't in me. That can't be, you know what I mean? I love my children too much to let them live in this world without a father. I've been through all that. So I always promote fathers, take care of your children no matter what.

48:58Piers Morgan:When you hear Derek talking about a dream of walking his daughters down the aisle, do you think that will ever be possible with your daughter? For mine? Almost ever. Doctor said she would never be able to walk or never have a natural childhood ability or learning. But if God has something for you, then it ain't nothing that nobody can say. He is the doctor in the sick room. He is the best friend behind the bed. He is all things. So now, you know, my daughter is 21. She just got a license. She's about to have a job as well. She got her own home. You know what I mean? What more to say? It's a beautiful thing.

49:32It's a great story. It's a beautiful thing. You know, one day the story will, you know, be told and the movie probably will be presented as well. You know, how a father loved for a spinal bifida girl and what he did to risk his life, to save a life come to pass. You know, been many narratives painted of me, put up on me, you know me. And for what reason? I don't know why. You know, because of people use a perspective of what they may see on TV or certain things. And maybe the color of my skin, you know what I mean? They may already project certain things upon me, but I don't put every fire that's trying to be built of me.

50:13My silence is golden, and that's what I use. I got a big platform that I could use and go and do, but that's just not of me. I don't do those things. I'm not knocking those that use it, because I say, you know, defend yourself, but my silence is golden, you know.

50:27Piers Morgan:I think it's an amazing story. I didn't know the half of that. You know. I did not expect you to. Yeah, man. I got three deadbeat mothers on my hand, But I only say, why do you do the children like this? Because I'm no longer in your life, and the life is not like it used to be. But don't prosecute my child. Don't allow them to sit around and have to be in between of these things. Even with my ex-wife, that's my best friend. My ex-wife is my best friend, you know, because co-parenting is a relationship. And we know how to do that very well, and we teach the other kids how to do that. even with my girlfriend.

51:04We all go to trips. We all hang out together. We all do things together and stuff like that because we understand the objective and that's to make sure these kids...

51:14Piers Morgan:I have an idea for you. Get out of boxing and go and do a reality show. The Wilders. Maybe we can get those seven more and have 14 of them. I'll produce it for you. The Wilders. We'll do it as an unsensored series. Yeah, man. Derek, I know what you're thinking. Huh? You want to sell you and fight. I'm telling you, Let me just tell you something. This is actually a very cool way to sell your fight. You know why? Because it's revealing stuff about your personalities which people didn't really realise. You know, this is what I'll say to you. This game is full of scumbags. Yeah? Because I've got scumbags on this side here.

51:48Yeah. Sending me messages. I'm like... Spice it up. I'm like, what's that? Spice it up. You know, they're a bunch of scumbags. Do you understand? Yeah. So when you're dealing with scumbags, It's quite difficult. Because I think this has been a great interview with you guys.

52:05Piers Morgan:You think so? Yeah. And you're going to do 20 other media appearances where you'll just tick the boxes of saying shit to sell your show. All right? Whereas I think... Can I be honest with you on the show? I think I've peeled back layers about you both. I can't. There's no shit to talk about. What I'm just saying to people is don't sit down. The fight's going to be amazing. Yeah? There's no... There's no like, oh, I have to strangle him. Oh, this... I can't. But the fight is going to be an amazing fight. The way we've trained for this fight is unbelievable for me. Yeah. Well, give me a prediction.

52:39Do you think I want to get knocked out in my own hometown? No. In front of 18 ,000 people? No, but I don't think he does either.

52:47Piers Morgan:Exactly. So what do you think is going to happen then? I think the war and the bronze bomber are going to probably tear it up. Exactly. Yeah. And then plus... They're going to overhype it to me. And to make it more sweet enough, yeah. And this guy don't go to any shows. Yeah. This guy, he never goes to any show, but he's coming. Who? He's Anthony coming. Anthony said he's coming. Anthony Joshua? Yeah, he don't go to no shows. Right. But if he say he's coming, now you have to, like, you know, turn up. Who does he think is going to win? I don't know. I mean, people know this is going to be an amazing fight.

53:20This is going to be a war. You understand me? We train day in and day out to prepare our body mentally and physically and emotionally for one night, one fight. Like, you know, and you got to be a fool to think I'm coming all the way from America and not to come and show up and show out. You got to be a fool to think that he's in his own time. He's not going to come and be the best that he's ever had. Like I said, the Hill Wild is one of the best wildest ever. You know, before three or four years, I was getting myself back together. You know, I was convincing myself that I'd be okay. But I didn't have enough time.

53:56It wasn't enough time to get myself together. But now, it's over. And if you do win, what's your message? When I win. Deja vu. When I win. At the conclusion of your fight,

54:14Piers Morgan:what would your message be to Tyson Fury if he's watching this? I mean, it ain't just to him. It's the whole heavyweight division. I'm going to put them back on notice. To let them know I'm here. They're going to call me Mr. Clean because I'm here to clean up the whole division. Look how boring it is now. I brought boxing back single-handedly. You know, of course, I had some bodies I needed to lay down and get things back going. But here I am yet again to do it all over again. And what great opponent to have in front of me? Derek Wartessore. And I can't wait because I can't wait for this war. There's a lot of wars going on.

54:52but it's going to work April the 4th at the 0-2 arena, baby. You don't want to be late and you don't want to miss this one. Ha! You don't want to miss it. Derek? Yeah. And I'm going to put my stamp on that one.

55:05Piers Morgan:Yeah? Derek, what's your final rallying cry to the nation? Or to the world? To the world? Yeah. Give them what they want. Sell it, baby. I can't flip this table, can I?

55:20I can't. Listen. Tune in. It's going to be amazing. It's going to be great.

55:27Piers Morgan:May the best man win. It's been great meeting you both. Thank you. And talking to you properly. Thank you. You don't have to throw things around to make points. That's come back up there. The bold guy wants that. Of course. He wants you to start whacking each other. The one with the cronk t-shirt on. It's on DAZN on Saturday night. I will be tuning in. Don't you want to come? No. Because I like you both too much. I don't want to see one of you lose. Oh, by the way, because it's too long for you because you've got a new hip, that's why. Actually, that's actually not far off.

56:02Piers Morgan:Guys, thank you both very much for your time. Thank you. I appreciate it. I'm having dinner with Simon Jordan tomorrow. I'll send you your best. Yeah. Oh, that guy. Who's paying? Who's paying? I suspect I will be.
