Astonishing footage of Deontay Wilder brutally KO'ing a mascot on live TV has resurfaced ahead of his highly-anticipated trilogy fight with Tyson Fury.
The Bronze Bomber, an unbeaten WBC champion at the time, showed off his strength by banjoing the poor unfortunate soul dressed as a giant burrito during an appearance on Spanish television in 2018.
The video resurfaced days before Wilder, 35, will attempt to win back his WBC heavyweight title.
He is set to face Fury in a trilogy fight on October 9.
The pair will come to blows again in the ring at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
And though Fury has felt the full force of Wilder's formidable power before, he may not want to take a look at the aforementioned clip.
Wilder can be seen standing with his hands slightly raised outstretched in front of him a few metres away from the mascot with a presenter clearly visible in the background.
Without any warning, Wilder leaps forward and catches him with a right hand, sending him crashing to the floor.
The giant burrito man can then be seen in a heap on the floor as crew members nearby look on in shock.

Speaking to The Daily Mail, the American offered his sincerest apologies, and insisted he had no intention of causing him any harm at all.
He said: “One minute I’m doing an interview and the next I look up there’s a big a-- burrito to the right of me, waiting on me.
“I didn’t hit no mascots (sic) or anything like that before and I said, ‘Yeah cool let’s make it happen.’
"So once I got to select where I got to hit him, I told them: ‘I’m a head-hunter, I like to knock you out!’
“I’m one of the hardest punchers in the world and I thought there was going to be more cushion or whatever, but when I hit him it was like another opponent, it was crazy.
“They said I hit him on the chin, I think he was a little bit dazed at first.”
