And Stacks has now raised the stakes even further by putting the career that made him famous on the line.
Speaking at Thursday’s final press conference, he said: “If I lose, on my life, I’m quitting social media, yeah?
“That’s it. Here now, I’m saying it. Social media’s done if I lose. That’s how confident I am.
“On my mum’s life will quit social media, yeah? I will get a nine till five if I lose. How about that, yeah?”

It began as a joke video but quickly exploded online, with his outrageous claims and larger-than-life persona attracting millions of views.
The viral character saw Stacks become one of the most recognisable faces on the UK social-media scene – while also attracting plenty of challengers eager to test his ‘hardest man’ tag.
Stacks has previously opened up about a troubled life before internet fame, including years spent around crime and bad influences, before turning his attention towards content creation and boxing.

And his online notoriety eventually took him into the world of Misfits, where his rivalry with rapper McCann has become one of the promotion’s most heated.
The bad blood erupted during fight week for Tommy Fury’s June clash against Eddie Hall in Manchester, when McCann punched Stacks during an open workout.
Stacks had been locked in a hostile confrontation with Shane Fury – the younger brother of two-time heavyweight champion Tyson – before McCann, a friend of the Fury family, stepped in and struck him in the face.
The blow left Stacks with a busted lip and damaged tooth, initially throwing his bout against bodybuilder Armz Korleone into doubt.
He eventually fought Armz, who features on this card, under modified body-shot-only rules and lost, while McCann was also beaten by viral sensation Ibiza Final Boss on the same night.
But attention quickly turned to a showdown between Stacks and McCann following their explosive confrontation and Misfits booked the rivals to headline at the Utilita Arena in Newcastle.
Fight week has already descended into chaos, with Stacks left with another cut lip after being sucker-punched during Wednesday’s wild media day.
Meanwhile McCann claimed he was arrested after landing at Manchester Airport this week before insisting he “wouldn’t miss” the Stacks fight “for the world”.
