Alex Reid's big fight is off

Celebrity Big Brother winner Alex Reid has been forced to postpone a crunch fight - after injuring himself during a TV show.

Ironically, cage fighter Reid, Katie Price's husband, was hurt while making a series about his preparations for the battle with Tom "Kong" Watson.

His opponent is not happy, and has branded his competitor "a complete joke".

Reid has been advised he should not continue to train at the level required for the fight which was due to happen on May 15.

Watson also complained he was out of pocket and said he had already sold tickets worth £12,000.

A statement on behalf of Reid said: "Alex Reid has sustained an injury during the filming of his Bravo Fight Of His Life programme.

"He has seen numerous doctors and specialists, all advising him to not train at the level required in the lead-up to a fight.

"Alex is gutted to postpone the fight and is looking forward to taking on his competitor."

But in a message on his blog, Watson said: "I am now working with Bamma and my management to bring in a top American opponent last-minute.

"I just wish I'd had more time to prepare for whoever that style may be but, hey, this is what real fighters do."

And he added: "Enjoy your new lifestyle and fame, Mr Reid, because I'm sure it's not only me but many other people now who categorise you as a complete joke with no class to just stand up and be a man."
