The animosity between them was brewing throughout the build-up of the fight. However, it all came to a head during the press conference. Stein stood up and started to antagonize Deen. To gain an edge in mental warfare, not only did Stein come prepared with words but also with planned action.

During their back and forth, Stein started to throw hot dogs from his bag and at Deen. While throwing, he stated, “You love pork, right?” 

 Deen was vehemently offended and charged towards Stein to throw down right at the press conference itself. However, the security managed to halt the altercation. But the brawl got to a point that the press conference came to an abrupt end because of the incident.

The sport of boxing is no stranger to such altercations and brawls. Neither are some actions politically correct. However, MISFITS Boxing did not condone this particular instance and made a decision. On Twitter, they stated, “Following today’s actions at the Happy Punch press conference, Alex Stein has been removed from the card.”

However, Stein’s opponent was not pleased with the decision and made it evident on social media.
