Jayden King withdraws from his fight with Leeds DJ Tom Zanetti after major altercation during press conference

The boxing bout between actor Jayden King and Leeds DJ Tom Zanetti has been called off.

Agencies
Jayden King withdrew from the match just days before the contest was scheduled to take place at Sheffield's Utilita Arena on October 15, forcing the match's cancellation.

It comes after a significant altercation between the two during a news appearance earlier this week. At the conference on Thursday, Jayden was blasted with water by Zanetti's 16-year-old son. When Zanetti rose to protect his son, the two aspiring boxers fought brutally.

Later, Jayden King announced via Instagram that he would not be fighting, along with a caption wondering how Tom would avenge his son's dignity.





On October 14, Zanetti posted about the press conference conflict lightheartedly. He said he is not even a YouTuber, yet they called the press conference the best in YouTube boxing history thus far, he wrote.

Zanetti also addressed Jayden king pulling out of the fight, saying he won't be competing tomorrow due to the withdrawal of one of his opponents. However, he will be present at the arena, getting drunk and watching the spectacle before flying to the Playroom for a massive party.

Youtube wonder KSI is set to host the Misfits boxing event, which will continue as rivals Slim and Ryan Taylor, along with American actress Cherdley and British Youtuber Jay Swingler, will enter the ring. Both the boxing events will be shown live via YouTube at tonight's event, plus TV coverage beginning at 7 pm.
