Deontay Wilder's fiancee Telli Swift has been granted a temporary restraining order against the boxer, TMZ has alleged.

This follows on from the allegation, carried by TMZ, that he abused her on multiple occasions over the past six years.

Swift and Wilder began dating in 2015, however, the former is said to have applied for a restraining order in Los Angeles late last week, which was then granted by a judge on Monday.

SPORTbible has contacted Wilder for comment.

The restraining order was said to have been granted just two days after Wilder was knocked out in his heavyweight bout with Chinese boxer Zhilei Zhang.

The order reportedly requires Wilder to remain at least 100 yards away from Swift and their daughter until June 25, when both parties will appear in court.

In her application, Swift has alleged that Wilder has choked her "at least five times" since 2018 and that he spat on her several times.

She even claimed she "nearly suffocated" after alleging Wilder shoved her face into a pillow for an extended period during a fit of rage.

Swift also alleged that in mid-April, Wilder gained access to her laptop without consent and sent disturbing messages to her personal and professional contacts.

Swift further claimed that Wilder constantly ridiculed and threatened her - while expecting her to have sexual intercourse with him "three times a day".

She also claimed that on April 15 she was thrown out of their Atalanta residence, despite being in recovery from a recent invasive surgery. She has reportedly since been living in their LA residence.

Swift brought their six-year-old daughter to the LA residence but alleged that Wilder has been spying on them through the home’s surveillance system.

Swift added that she was scared of Wilder becoming violent with her upon returning to LA in the wake of his defeat to Zhang.

"I believe Deontay is capable of being physically violent towards me upon his return in June because he has expressed that he is furious with me since April and has been physically abusive with me in the past," she claimed.
