The UK's self-proclaimed 'hardest man' has boldly claimed he would 'easily' defeat a gorilla in a fight. Charlie Stacks, whose real name is Charlie Roberts, made the assertion during a recent interview, adding fuel to the ongoing online debate about whether 100 men or one gorilla would prevail in a confrontation.
Charlie's Confident Claim
'Me, I'd win,' Charlie stated without hesitation. When pressed further, he mockingly tilted his head and said, 'It's a tough one... for the gorilla. Of course I'd win.' He went on to assert, 'Look – I'm the hardest man in the UK. I'm hard as f***. Of course I'd bang a gorilla.' The Daily Star interprets 'bang' to mean 'beat up,' dismissing any alternative interpretations.
Tracking Down the Hardest Man
Charlie Stacks proved difficult to locate. Reporters spent a rainy Thursday in Manchester searching for him before finally cornering him in a stairwell at New Century House. While the main room hosted a press conference with Tommy Fury discussing his upcoming clash with Eddie Hall, Charlie was found near the venue's toilets, ready to discuss aliens, UFOs, and gorillas.
Pre-Fight Controversy
Just 48 hours before his Misfits boxing match against 'Armz' Korleone, Charlie sported a busted upper lip from a cheap shot by fellow boxer Jordan McCann the night before. 'I'm not 100% cleared for the fight,' he admitted, 'but I'll show everyone on Saturday what the hardest man can do.' Due to his injury, the bout was restricted to body shots only. Charlie ultimately lost the match, drawing boos from the Manchester arena audience, who called it the 'strangest fight you will ever see.'
Online Reaction
Social media users were unimpressed. One wrote, 'Big Stacks is now known as... man in the UK.' Another commented, 'Can we stop calling that c*** Big Stacks the hardest man in Britain now? Softest f****** body shot and he's out. Div.' A third added, 'Big Stacks, the hardest man in Britain but he can't be hit in the face.'
While Charlie may have settled the gorilla debate in his own mind, his performance against a human opponent leaves much to be desired.
