JAKARTA Andy Ruiz Sr, father and manager of former world heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz, accused American boxer Deontay Wilder of being a liar.

Ruiz Sr. made this striking statement after Wilder called himself an instigator in the negotiation process to get an agreement against Andy Ruiz in the coming fall.

"What happened was that Wilder was a liar," Ruiz Sr. told Izquierdazo quoted by Boxing Scene.

In an Instagram post last week, Wilder put pressure on Ruiz to immediately make decisions regarding their duel negotiations rather than listen to his father

In the upload, Wilder claims that there is quite a lot of money that has been offered to Ruiz. However, Ruiz's father is said to want that number to be increased again.

Ruiz Sr. said that the amount offered by Wilder and his coach did not make sense. That number does not deserve to be accepted by a world champion like Ruiz.

"He [Wilder] and his coach [Malik Scott] want Andy to accept a ridiculous amount of money. However, Andy is not an arbitrary name. Andy is the former world champion, the first major world champion from Mexico in history. As a former champion, he made history," he said.

Ruiz Sr. claims that in the offer submitted by Wilder, his son only received 30 percent. That number is considered too small because Wilder is currently considered no longer a champion.

"Wilder wants to offer Andy around 30 percent. We wantten to percent because Wilder is no longer a champion. He has just had a very bad fight, where he fought against his (Robert Helenius) compatriot," Ruiz Sr said.

"I think the team-training partner has made a mistake. Meanwhile, Andy came from a good fight that lasted 12 rounds (with Luis Ortiz)," he added.

Wilder last boarded the ring in October last year when he won a knockout in the first round against Helenius. The victory came after two previous defeats against Tyson Fury.

"They don't offer a fair share. The only thing we ask for is partitioning pasty, we don't ask for anything else. Good luck and we are ready to fight Wilder," Ruiz Sr said.
