Tyson Fury was not the only one getting ready for action this weekend. Actor John Connors has offered to box former Westlife member Brian McFadden in the ring for charity after the pair were involved in a heated Friday-night Twitter spat.
McFadden had originally tweeted Donald Trump’s criticism of Oscar-winning film ‘Parasite’, saying “We were all thinking the same”, which Connors took exception to.

Obviously annoyed at the remark, Connors responded by saying the film was a “masterpiece”, and that McFadden should stick to “dodgy harmonies.”
Fuck the awards they're shite but parasite was fucking masterpiece! Brian, you don't know good music never mind films. Stick to the dodgy harmonies. https://t.co/LYwKJO8OfA

The former talent show judge wasn’t finished however, saying Connors thinks he’s “russel Crowe” after his performance in RTÉ’s hit programme, Love/Hate.
😂😂😂 I’ve been making music and touring for over 21 years. You played yourself in love hate and think you’re russel Crowe. 👍👍👍

Connors went one further and said the Artane man’s music is a “stain on Irish culture.”
Brian. Your "Music" is a stain on Irish culture. You should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity. Westlife dumped you and you can't get over it. https://t.co/siSGi0RwtF

The former Dancing on Ice star replied with a sarcastic: “Brilliant!! Very creative” before Connors responded with: “Why thank you. That’s what I do. Create. You destroy… Art. Lives. Ear drums.”
Finding out McFadden was an amateur boxer, Connors then offered to enter the ring with him to resolve their dispute.
A fight between us was meant to happen before @BrianMcFadden Your fans tell me you were a great amateur boxer. I had a few aul go's throughout the years. Plenty of homeless and mental health Charity's need every penny they can get. Let me know when you're not busy fighting isis.

With no answer from McFadden yet, Connors goaded him further, whilst reassuring him he wasn’t quite at Muhammad Ali’s level.
It's for charity @BrianMcFadden
Don't worry I don't float like a butterfly or sting like a bee but I'll gladly knockout a back up singer from glee!— John Connors (@johnconnors1990) February 21, 2020
