One of the perks of having the internet is the ability to connect with millions. But for one man things went south when he decided to make remarks against Deontay Wilder. Charlie Zelenoff is known for challenging gymgoers to a boxing fight. Once a pro boxer himself, it did not take long for him to renounce that path. In an old clip, he is seen getting punished by the former WBC Heavyweight champ.

In the resurfaced clip, Wilder doesn’t go easy on the internet troll, as he allegedly made some derogatory remarks about him and his daughter. Notably, Zelenoff went pro in 2008 but was disqualified from his first-ever boxing fight. Since then has built a reputation for himself on the internet.

Zelenoff messed with the wrong guy: Watch

In 2014, Zelenoff thought it would be a good idea to allegedly make some racial comments about the ‘Bronze Bomber’ and unpleasant ones about Wilder’s daughter. Wilder, as a father, went to Zelenoff’s gym to teach him a lesson.

Michael Benson shared the clip on Twitter, and Wilder, without a doubt, was not going easy on Zelenoff. A left hook from Wilder made Zelenoff back off and run away from the heavyweight. But Wilder kept pursuing his ‘prey’. Zelenoff tried to maintain his distance, but a right hook from Wilder sent him down. Amid all of the chaos, the people in the gym were asking Wilder to stop.

Wilder’s anger can be clearly felt while watching the clip. He urges Zelenoff to get up as he is down on the floor. After the physical confrontation ended, Wilder says, “that’s for everybody.” And the two were exchanging verbal jabs at each other. The clip shows the extent a man can go to protect his family’s honor. However, this was not something new for Zelenoff as he was once beaten by Mike Tyson‘s son.
