What did Alex Stein do? YouTuber removed from Misfits Boxing after throwing hot dogs at Mo Deen

During the press conference ahead of their Misfits Boxing match, YouTuber Alex Stein, representing The Happy Punch Promo (a boxing agency owned by YouTuber Keemstar), was seen dumping hot dogs at Muslim TikToker Mo Deen. Initially, the hot dogs appeared to have been made with pork meat, a gesture that would have been viewed as highly disrespectful. However, they were later revealed to be "turkey dogs."

Nonetheless, the joke was deemed inappropriate by many, and Misfits Boxing issued an official statement on their Twitter account announcing the expulsion of Alex Stein from the upcoming boxing event.

Mo Deen wants his fight with YouTuber Alex Stein to go through

YouTuber Alex Stein faced a significant amount of online criticism after he made a jocular remark suggesting that he was throwing pork at TikToker Mo Deen during the press conference. Naturally, many attendees were shocked by the statement, and online critics expressed strong opinions about the gesture.

Later, Keemstar confirmed on his official Twitter account that the hot dogs, which were initially thought to have been made out of pork meat, were, in fact, made from turkey. Here's what he posted:

Despite the brawl between the two boxers, Mo Deen took to his social media handle to request that the fight take place as planned. He said:

"I'm feeling heartbroken because my fight is getting canceled because of someone else's action and I'm not getting the chance to smash the guy's face in. Look, they found out it's not pork but it was some mix chicken whatever, so that's calm."

Alex Stein has personally come forward and spoken about the decision, stating that he believes he was unfairly "canceled" for the incident. He wrote on Twitter:

"This will go down in history as one of the most legendary press conferences to ever happen in boxing. I got canceled for turkey dogs! LOL"

Stein also attempted to point out the inconsistency in Misfit's decisions by posting about a past bout in a Misfits Boxing event involving Greg Hardy, who had been allegedly involved in domestic violence. He wrote:

"Domestic Violence is okay with @MF_DAZNXSeries & @MisfitsBoxing but turkey dogs are over the line?"
