That's not really the whole story. Wilder was the one that made it personal in the first place. Wilder told Breazelae last year to bring his son so he could watch him cripple his father.
Wilder: When it do happen, Imma make sure he brings his son on the stage to look the man in the eye that’s gonna cripple his daddy.”
Breazelae responded: "For one man to talk about another man’s son and to talk about crippling a man in the ring, you ain’t nothing"
“You got the heavyweight championship, that’s about it.
“Outside of that: Two wives, three girlfriends, three kids you know about, a disabled child [a reference to Wilder’s daughter, who was born with spina bifida], kids on the side, your life is all f***ed up.”
....That's when Wilder decided to talk about killing Breazele. He has made that statement several times now.
