He posted: “How’s Tom gonna avenge his son’s honour now...” Tom, who runs Dollhouse nightclub in Leeds, hit back: “I think his a******e fell out and he didn’t really want it - I don’t think he wanted to fight from the beginning.”
Tom dismissed the idea of potentially rearranging the fight. He insisted: “I won’t be fighting him. He’s not any sort of challenge and I don’t think he deserves it.
“I’ll definitely be fighting on the January card with someone who deserves it and will give me a challenge. Someone who is actually going to go f**king toe-to-toe.”
The Misfits boxing event, run by YouTube star KSI, is still going ahead with British YouTuber Jay Swingler and American actor Cherdley taking to the ring, as well as rivals Slim and Ryan Taylor.
