A CONSERVATIVE YouTuber sparked outrage after hurling hot dogs at his Muslim boxing rival during a press conference.
YouTuber Alex Stein and TikToker Mo Deen were set to go head-to-head in the Misfits Boxing 008 until the sickening joke led to the match's cancellation.
Video from the conference shows the exact moment that Stein riled up the tensions and targeted his opponent with the vile prank.
It all started after Stein, dressed in a blue suit and sunglasses, stood up to accuse Deen of loving soccer rather than baseball.
"Here in America our favorite pastime is baseball," the online troll said to Deen, whose head was wrapped in a covering.

Deen responded that he had no idea what Stein was talking about before Stein said he brought his opponent a present that would help him to like baseball.
"I know you love hot dogs so," he said before chucking a bucket of dogs right at Deen's head.
Deen leaped up on the table and charged Stein who continued to taunt him with a microphone in his hand.
Men at the table jumped into action and barely held back the TikToker who was known for stalking celebrities and posting his encounters online.
"You love pork, right" Stein continued while Deen, who is believed to be Muslim, fiercely struggled.
The entire ordeal completely knocked down the backdrop for the event, which will see the likes of NichLMAO, Swarmz, B Dave, and Ryan Johnston give it their all in the ring.
They continued to fight later off the stage, with cameramen following Stein as he yanked one of Deen's shoes off and threw it on the roof of the building.
Stein exclusively told The U.S. Sun that the entire skit was a joke and that the hot dogs were actually made from turkey.
He said that he's friends with Deen and had contacted his management to plan the stunt beforehand.
He noted that he's not Islamophobic and is begging for the event to still take place.

In a video, Deen slammed Misfits Boxing and DAZN for canceling the fight and said there was no real harm in the joke.
"That's not fair, and I don't know what to do or what to say," he said.
Onlookers on social media expressed outrage at the situation, saying that Stein should be removed from the tournament.
"That's no way to treat a fellow human, he should be banned," one person tweeted.
Another person wrote: "That's very disrespectful."
"Misfits really making boxing a joke," a different critic said.
The controversy came after Mams Taylor, the co-president of Misfits Boxing, said the event would "push the boundaries" and wanted to bring "fresh and exciting ideas" to the boxing space.
"We were already thrilled to be taking Misfits to Nashville, but to do so with an event as special as this means even more. Roll on July 22!" he said.
The tournament will stream exclusively on DAZN on Saturday starting at 8pm.
