IN a bonkers night of Misfits Boxing, Big Stacks stopped Jordan McCann after their bitter grudge match ended with one of the strangest finishes of the evening.
McCann had already turned the Utilita Arena into his own personal concert before a punch was even thrown, rapping his way to the ring as Newcastle waited for the chaos to begin.

It was a wild fight in which Stacks pieced up the slow and telegraphed McCann
But the crowd were having none of it, loudly booing McCann and chanting “you fat b*****d” as they surprisingly threw their support behind Essex man Stacks rather than the northerner.
Then, all the posturing and pre-bout antics, came the fighting.
And the pair wasted absolutely no time trying to take each other’s heads off after months of genuine bad blood.
Stacks marched forward swinging while McCann fired back with wild shots of his own in a frantic opening round that looked more pub car park than Queensberry Rules.
But McCann’s night quickly began to unravel as his eye started ballooning following the early exchanges.
By the second round the swelling had become impossible to ignore, with one side of his face looking increasingly nasty as the ringside doctor was called in for a closer look.
And that was that – the contest was waved off, handing Stacks a huge victory and finally giving him the bragging rights he had been desperate for.
It was hardly the Hollywood ending either man had promised.

But Stacks will not care one bit after finally getting revenge on the man who had already punched him before they ever shared a ring.
McCann had famously cracked Stacks during an open workout earlier this year, splitting his lip and pouring even more fuel onto an already raging feud.
Stacks then piled even more pressure on himself before fight night by promising to quit social media if he lost.
And he even vowed to swap internet fame for a nine-to-five job.
So there will be no CV being dusted off on Monday morning.
Stacks keeps his social media, gets the last laugh and walks away with the biggest win of his career.
While McCann arrived rapping and left with a badly swollen eye.
