MISFITS 22 has been thrown into chaos after a fighter threatened to PULL OUT with just days to go after being attacked by an EGG.
Heavyweight Chase DeMoor – an American reality TV star – is due to take on Polish social media influencer Natan Marcon on Saturday in Manchester.
DeMoor is an often volatile character on the Misfits scene and had to be separated by security at Wednesday’s open workouts as he made a lunge for Marcon.
But when the two came face to face for a sit down interview later that evening – it was Marcon with a trick up his sleeve – or rather an egg.
Marcon dashed an egg across the table, splattering square on DeMoor’s face – sparking a furious reaction.
DeMoor, 29, clashed with security after being restrained as Marcon was kicked out of the room.
The former Too Hot To Handle contestant even tried to brawl with security as a desperate struggle broke out.
DeMoor believed the incident was “set up” with Misfits in on the prank.
So the 6ft 5in Californian took to social media to claim he was pulling out of the fight with just days to go.
He posted: “Drawing the line there. I’m done with this s***, I’m officially pulling out of this fight. Enjoy.”

DeMoor was asked if he wanted to get revenge in the ring and he responded: “I do. It’s more about in not giving the social media team anymore clips.
“I’ll beat up Natan when I see him on the street. For damn near the same as they’re paying me. What do I have to lose?”
Misfits deny being part of Macron’s prank.
The event is headlined by former UFC rivals Darren Till and Luke Rockhold with MMA star Tony Ferguson also facing TikToker Salt Papi.
The Only Way is Essex legend Joey Essex also makes his Misfits Boxing debut against Portuguese internet personality Numeiro.
