The much-anticipated boxing showdown between Alex Stein and Mo Deen appears to be in jeopardy as Alex reportedly caused a disruption during the pre-fight press conference by tossing hotdogs at his ring opponent.
The American YouTube personality known for his right-wing views and as the host of ‘Prime Time with Alex Stein’ on Glenn Beck’s Blaze Media network has recently made a surprising decision to enter the world of professional boxing.
YouTube Boxer Alex Stein’s fight canceled after disrespectful incident during press conference
Pre-fight press conferences are typically known for heated exchanges and verbal taunts between fighters. However, an unexpected incident took place recently when Stein crossed the line during the conference by throwing pork hotdogs at his opponent, Mo Deen.
This action was particularly offensive because Deen follows the Muslim faith. Misfits Boxing, in response to Stein’s disrespectful behavior towards Deen’s religious beliefs, decided to take a serious step.
This will go down in history as one of the most legendary press conference’s to ever happen in boxing

Sometime later, the boxing match got officially canceled for the time being. The YouTuber-turned-boxer’s contract was also terminated officially.
“Dear Mr. Stein, at the press conference today you threw sausages, that were believed to be pork meat, at Mr. Mohammad Kubba a/k/a Mo Deen, your scheduled opponent, causing a fight between Mr. Kubba and yourself. This fight caused the destruction of the press conference stage,” Misfits Boxing stated.

Jennifer said, “Interesting that they assumed the contents of the meat… they shouldn’t opress turkey dogs like that.”
“Oh my god… How will Misfits Boxing ever regain their highly regarded reputation? They were previously known as such an honest, high-brow company built solely on integrity. How could you ever drag such a pure company through the mud like this, Alex?” a user commented.
Melissa Dawn also expressed her dissatisfaction by saying,” So there is a Claus that says on your own personal time you can’t throw hotdogs at someone or they can cancel your flight? ”
“Isn’t the whole pint of pre-fight press, to stir shit up for the fight?? This is dumb.” another user said.

“How will misfits boxing ever recover their stellar reputation? Oh well. I’m going back to never hearing of them now.” another user said.
