Deontay Wilder went into graphic detail when speaking to to Piers Morgan about how his daughter was conceived.
On Saturday, former heavyweight champion Wilder will return to the boxing ring for a bout with Britain's Derek Chisora at London's O2 Arena.
With the fight very much a must-win for both men if they hope to remain a big name in the division, they have each been taking part in several interviews to build up hype for the fight.
This led to Wilder's appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored, where it didn't take long for the conversation to stray away from the fight itself, as Morgan asked the boxer about his daughter, Naieya.

Naieya was born with spina bifida, a rare condition in which a baby’s spine and spinal cord do not close properly in the womb during pregnancy.
And while explaining the situation, Wilder told a jaw-dropping story claiming that his ex-girlfriend set him up to make sure she got pregnant during their time together.
Warning: The following story contains graphic language.
Wilder told the TV host: “It had a strong impact on my life because I chose to keep her, her mother didn't.
"Her mother tried to set me up to have the baby.She injected my sperm in her and ran into the bathroom and locked the door and that’s how we had her.
"She doesn't even know I know this and I'm telling it to the world."
Morgan was clearly taken aback by Wilder's comments, but that didn't stop the boxer from continuing.
He added: “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 her relationships would only last for two months because she was a promiscuous woman, I didn’t know it at the time.”
In further graphic detail, Wilder said that he would typically ejaculate on her stomach, cleaning it up afterwards with a towel
He claimed: “This time I went to wipe it off her stomach and she hit my hand so hard, I thought she hit my hand like a homerun, like a baseball [player].”
According to Wilder, his ex then screamed ‘no’ and ran into the bathroom and ‘locked the door’.
He continued, stating that she was not doing ‘the things his daughter needed to stay healthy’, but he despite this he wanted to keep his daughter in his life.
“Two weeks later, she liked to go clubbing and drinking with her girls… this particular moment in time she knew she was pregnant. She was pregnant with my daughter but she didn’t do all the right things," Wilder told Morgan.
“We were offered the opportunity to end the pregnancy, but I felt something in my heart like I wanted her to live.
“I wanted to take up on this opportunity of taking care of a girl that was born with spina bifida, she needed me, I needed her.”
