Deontay Wilder has apologised for breaking a mascot's jaw on live TV
The Bronze Bomber is set to go up against Tyson Fury in December, but the pre-fight hype ting took a turn for the worse yesterday when he appeared on Nacion ESPN, a Spanish-language show in the US.
Someone thought it'd be a good idea for him to show off his strength by punching the show's mascot.
Narrator: It wasn't.
Deontay Wilder was asked to show off his punching power by hitting a mascot...

Who actually volunteers for that?
Wilder was quick to issue an apology via Instagram, and has offered his victim tickets to the Fury fight.
A nice gesture like, but tickets to sporting events don't put faces back together, do they?
