Deontay Wilder claims he unknowingly fought his last two bouts with a broken arm.
"I broke my arm way back in November sometime," he told TMZ, "I didn't know.
"I had two tears on my shoulder. I could feel the pain, but I just thought it was old injuries.
"But I got an MRI [recently] and everything was f***ed up there, I didn't know because I've got a high tolerance of pain.”
"The best is yet to come," he continued. "I had a lot of outside distractions that I had to get rid of.
"I took care of a lot of people and it got to the point where I couldn't do it anymore.
"I've got seven kids of my own, I can't take care of everybody. Even the closest ones to me, I've been betrayed so many times.
"It's been a domino effect for the last five years. The thing about betrayal is it's worse than heartbreak."
One fight that has been floated around for Wilder is a crossover clash with MMA star Francis Ngannou.
"Even since I've been off there has been a lot of offers from countries and stuff like that," Wilder added when asked if he would entertain a clash with Ngannou.
"Even with Francis, I hope everything is going good for you man, I'm sorry for your loss (Ngannou's 15-month-old son, Kobe, died in April).
"I can only imagine what it is like to lose a child, I never hope to even feel that feeling but I hope life is going beautifully for you.
"And yeah, that is a conversation. I'm still looking to get in the mix and talk about it...
"Any fight is competitive when you've got a man that has two hands, two feet, a heart, and a will to win.
"That way you've got competition and a fight on your hands.
"That's why you respect every man you get into the ring with, you never know what dog he brings to the fight."
