The 'UK's Hardest Man' - commonly known as Big Stacks - has promised to quit social media and enter the 9-5 life should he suffer an embarrassing defeat to Jordan McCann on Saturday night.

Big Stacks and McCann will settle their bitter feud in a mouthwatering clash this weekend in Newcastle. Their rivalry stemmed from a physical altercation back in June, which saw McCann - who was fighting the Ibiza Final Boss - punch Stacks at an open workout event before a Misfits show.

Security were quick to intervene, but the brawl left Stacks with a busted lip. The scuffle meant that the 'Hardest Man' was involved in a rather comical ‘bodyshots only’ bout against Armz Korleone. Stacks would eventually go on to lose the contest.

After trading verbal blows in the weeks that followed, the Misfits brass were eager to pit the pair against each other. On Thursday evening, Big Stacks and McCann went head-to-head at a pre-fight press conference, and it did not take long before they were at each other's throats.

Big Stacks - real name Charlie Robert - made a bald claim by revealing that he would quit social media if he loses this weekend's bout. "What am I going to do on Saturday? First round knockout. 100 per cent. I cannot lose this fight. It is impossible. If I lose, I'm quitting social media. I am saying it. Social media is done if I lose.

"That is how confident I am. I will get a 9-5 if I lose. I'll be a labourer. That's all I have got - I have got no qualifications. There is no chance I will lose this fight." An energetic McCann was quick to hit back, stating: "This is Newcastle. The same as in Manchester... I love people from the South, but we are Northern, we are built different. Win or lose, I am going to win up there."

There were fears that this fight would not go ahead after Big Stacks was involved in a pre-fight brawl earlier this week. The 33-year-old clashed with a group of individuals, which left him dealing with a busted lip. But he was quick to take to social media, stating: "It's all kicked off again today.

"F*** it. At least we ain't injured. At least we can still fight. We got some dead cheap shot by these f****** nerds. They tried to cheap shot me. Soft as f***. All those lot are f***** because they tried to get to me. It is what it is. The night is still on. The fight is still on. They did not injure me. They tried. They tried throwing a chair at me. You cannot rock me. I'm here still fighting."
