The bad blood between Larry Wheels and Vitaly boiled over during a heated confrontation ahead of their scheduled boxing match, with Vitaly using the exchange to press Wheels on allegations of infidelity related “proclivities” that have circulated online, while also bringing up an unpaid $50,000 debt owed to a friend.
During their vitual face-off which content creator Jon Bravo covered on his YouTube, Vitaly wasted no time addressing the accusations head on, referencing screenshots exposing private messages allegedly belonging to Wheels.
“I don’t scam my friends for $50,000. So there’s hardcore proof. So I just want you to be a man, the one you say you are,” Vitaly said, pressing Wheels to admit to the allegations rather than deny them.
Wheels, for his part, maintained his denial, previously dismissing the leaked messages as fabricated. “I deny this because it didn’t happen and it was 2026. Anyone can fabricate a conversation between two people,” he said.
When pressed further on whether he was accusing content creator Jon Bravo directly of faking the material, Wheels doubled down. “Yeah, I’m saying absolutely he’s faking that 100%,” he said.
The exchange then shifted toward the financial dispute, with Vitaly bringing up the unpaid debt Wheels owed to his friend, who has reportedly resorted to driving for Uber and is said to be pursuing legal action to recover the money.
“At least I don’t buy girls Bentleys every other day and get b*tched because you didn’t get an orange interior. I don’t scam my friends for $50,000, okay, to launch businesses that fail,” Vitaly said.
Wheels attempted to fire back at multiple points during the confrontation, at one point referencing Vitaly’s past appearance on the Bang Bus, only for Vitaly to turn the comment back around on him. The exchange grew increasingly personal, with both men trading jabs about training habits, past legal trouble and personal history before the confrontation wound down.
