YouTube boxer Alex Stein has confirmed his fight with TikTok star Mo Deen has been called off.
The two men were due to lock horns in a Misfits Boxing event this weekend, with a press conference descending into chaos on Thursday.
Stein caused outrage by rising to his feet, turning to his opponent and saying: "I brought you a little gift because I know you love hotdogs."
He then proceeded to throw sausages from a container in the direction of Mo Deen, who is Muslim.

The TikTok star then erupted, climbing onto a table and attempting to get to Stein. Security then intervened to ensure a fight didn't break out ahead of schedule.
Stein, undeterred, continued to mock his opponent.
"I know you love that. You love pork, right?" he said, clearly enjoying the reaction of Mo Deen.
As a practicing Muslim, pork is considered haram (forbidden).
And Misfits have responded by removing Stein from their card with the YouTuber sharing a message he received from the organisers on social media.
It read: "Dear Mr Stein.
"At the press conference today you threw sausages, that were believed to be pork meat, at Mr Mohammed 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.
"You put the name and reputation of Misfits Boxing, its shareholders and its partners into disrepute."
Stein, for his part, insisted he had thrown 'turkey dogs' at Mo Deen instead of pork.
"I just had my fight cancelled for throwing turkey dogs on Mo Deen!" he wrote on social media.
Mo Deen then appeared to back up his claim while saying he was 'heartbroken' the fight wouldn't be taking place.
"I'm feeling heartbroken because my fight is getting cancelled because of someone else's actions," he said.
"And I'm not getting the chance to smash this guy's face in.
"They found out it was not pork, it was chicken or whatever. So that's calm. As long as it wasn't (pork) it's not that deep."
