Tom Zanetti and Jayden King fight heats up as singer issues warning to actor after digs at his son

A boxing press conference for the fight of Leeds singer Tom Zanetti and actor Jayden King turned into a brawl, with the popular DJ telling the latter "just you wait".

The Leeds DJ and owner of Playroom and Doll House, has been training for six weeks in preparation for his first competitive boxing match against Jayden. This Misfits Boxing event will be held tonight (Saturday, October 15) and is run by YouTube star and singer KSI.

But things got heated before the pair have even stepped foot into the ring. They have been sharing posts about one and other on Instagram, and in a press conference held earlier this week, Zanetti jumped up to fight Jayden when he called his 16-year-old son a "d*******d".

Tom, who is a platinum-selling artist, was initially set to fight social media influencer Jack Bateson, but he pulled out. Tom said he chose to do the fight as he wanted to get back into shape after a long summer of partying and performing.

Tom, whose son Deacan recently turned 16, decided to take a water gun to Thursday's press conference which caused an uproar with Jayden. When Jayden began speaking about Tom, he sprayed him with water.

Jayden got angry and charged towards Tom. Tom said: "Let me tell you something yeah this guy has got zero intelligence, he was talking about my son on Instagram..."

"You're son is a d*****d. What you going to do? Nothing", Jayden added. DJ Tom got up out of his chair to try and fight Jayden ahead of the boxing event. Security held the pair back and stopped them, and press conference attendees appeared startled by what had happened.

Posting a clip of the conference on his Instagram page, Tom said: "Please just wait for this guy's reaction. He need to learn some manners, these trolls say s**t they can't back up in person."

Singer and boxer, who organised the event, KSI said of the ordeal: "That was insane oh my god. It was kicking off. That is mad."
