Deontay Wilder has pint thrown at him at Windsor Park ahead of Tyson Fury fight
The American is in Northern Ireland to scout his potential next opponent, but also had an altercation with Billy Joe Saunders
Deontay Wilder had a stray pint glass thrown at him at Windsor Park as he made his way to the ring to watch Tyson Fury.
Less than 24 hours after a reported scuffle with Billy Joe Saunders in a Nando's in Belfast, the WBC heavyweight champion was attacked by a member of the audience in Northern Ireland.
Commentating on the fight for television, the American was making his way to the ring when the pint was chucked at him.
The 32-year-old was understandably incensed, and attempted to get close to the offender, who was shouting, swearing and pointing at the boxer.
Although he was later captured on camera joking and laughing, the undefeated heavyweight was restrained by security.
It caps an eventful trip to the UK for the Alabama-native, who scrapped with Fury's best friend Billy Joe Saunders in Nandos.
Wilder shook Saunders’ hand, then took the opportunity to confront the Brit on previous comments he made, in which he called the American a “racist c***” in relation to his comments regarding Eddie Hearn.
The 32-year-old had earlier accused Hearn of being, “just another white man milking a black man,” with regards to the manner in which he promotes Anthony Joshua.
