Deontay Wilder claims his trainer threw in the towel because he was influenced by a friend of Tyson Fury's trainer.
Wilder was dropped in the third and fifth rounds before the fight was stopped in the seventh round when Mark Breland raised the white flag.
Breland, a former world champion, has been hailed by former fighters for his actions in protecting Wilder, has come under fire from the deposed champion.
Wilder is ready to ditch his trainer as he prepares to trigger a clause in his contract for a third fight with Fury.
And he claims Breland threw in the towel after being told to do so by former world champion Andre Dirrell who was trainer by Fury's coach SugarHill Steward.
"He was influenced by [Anthony] Dirrell," Wilder told Boxing Scene. "They said [Anthony] Dirrell was in back of him screaming, ‘Throw the towel in! We love our champ!’
"And, you know, [Anthony] works with ‘Sugar’ as well, the opposite trainer, Tyson’s trainer. [Dirrell] works with him, too. [Breland] said he didn’t hear nothing, but everybody’s saying the same thing.
"A lot of people that’s around, a lot of people that was in my camp, and if everybody’s hearing it and if my people in the corner can hear him, and Mark said he can’t hear [him], there’s something wrong with that.
"It’s a lot going on with Mark as well. But, you know, we’re gonna make a big decision by the time I come back from Africa and we’re gonna go from there.”
Referee Kenny Bayless has said he was close to waving the fight off before Breland intervened.
But Wilder added: “It’s a human, immediate reaction, like, ‘I didn’t wanna see you get hurt.
“But I was hurt way more in the first [Luis] Ortiz fight than in this situation. I still had my mind. I still knew what I was doing at certain times. I still knew how to move around the ring.
"Although I didn’t have the legs, I knew how to move around the ring. S***, I was 42-0, you know, 10 consecutive title defences.
"I know what I’m doing in there. It may look a certain type of way, but when you’re talking about a Deontay Wilder , I’m never out of a fight because of my tremendous power. We’ve seen that many a times. I’m never out of a fight. And I’d rather go out on my shield and my sword than anything.
"You know, by [Breland] knowing that and then Jay, which is the head trainer, Jay [Deas] told him not to do so. He still proceeded with it. It’s kinda hurtful, man. It really makes you think about different things.
"I don’t wanna put negative thoughts in my head or have any kind of conspiracy theories going on, but it makes you think. "Somebody that did not something that’s not up to him, and even when they’re instructed not to, they still proceeded on."
