UFC star Paddy Pimblett has fallen for a troll effort from an infamous Twitter user, and offered to fight them after a charity row.
ReallyNiceDerek, the notorious social media prankster behind a number of fake boxing news stories including the beginnings of Tommy Fury's feud with Jake Paul, reeled in Pimblett with a tweet mocking his charity donations. The lightweight contender has previously vowed to make sure children don't have to eat from food banks in Liverpool once he starts earning big money.
But Derek, who is also known by the nickname 'Del G', mocked him for his lack of charitable donations in a tweet that made its way to the UFC star. He asked Pimblett in a tongue-in-cheek post if his close friend Molly McCann, also a UFC fighter in the flyweight division, was "as tight" as him, which resulted in a lengthy exchange between the two as well as other fans who fell for the joke.
