Big Stacks found himself involved in an altercation ahead of his fight with Jordan McCann
The ‘UK’s Hardest Man’ – Big Stacks – is confident he will fight this weekend despite being left bleeding following a physical altercation.
Stacks – real name Charlie Robert – will settle his bitter feud with Manchester rapper Jordan McCann on Saturday night in Newcastle. Earlier on in the year, the two fighters were involved in a heated brawl at an open workout in the build-up to a Misfits event. McCann – who was fighting the Ibiza Final Boss on the billing – punched Stacks and was eventually escorted out of the arena – which left Stacks with a busted lip.
Three months on from the event, Stacks finds himself with another injured lip after he was involved in an altercation on Wednesday afternoon ahead of his fight with McCann. Tempers flared when Stacks threatened to throw a chair at a group of individuals he traded verbal jabs with, but security intervened sharply.

“What are you going to do you doughnut,” an enraged Stacks said before repeatedly touching his lip. He was eventually ushered away by a group of security personnel before the video cut to the fighter in a different room, with blood pouring down his lip.
Stacks was quick to address the altercation on social media, as well as claiming he will be fit to fight this weekend. “It’s all kicked off again today,” he said in a video uploaded to social media. “F*** it. At least we ain’t injured. At least we can still fight. We got some dead cheap shot by these f****** nerds.

“They tried to cheap shot me. Soft as f***. All those lot are f***** because they tried to get to me. It is what it is. The night is still on. The fight is still on. They did not injure me. They tried. They tried throwing a chair at me. You cannot rock me. I’m here still fighting.”
