TORONTO — Canadian actor and reality show star Dean McDermott is ready to step into the ring to defend his masculinity.
The Toronto native has challenged a man via Twitter to a mixed martial arts fight after the man poked fun at McDermott’s new tattoo.
McDermott’s wife, actress Tori Spelling, told her Twitter followers: “O-M-G…My husband @Deanracer just surprised me w/ hottest ‘Tori’ tattoo in an unbelievably intimate spot. I’m blown away!”
While it’s not known where the tattoo — inked by Toronto artist Fabrizia Divari — is located, someone named Anthony Bracco took to Twitter to make fun of McDermott.
“Dean got a Tramp Stamp and I tweeted LMAO and he challenged me to a fight,” Bracco explained on Twitter.
Bracco continued to taunt McDermott, questioning his masculinity.
McDermott, who is in Toronto working on the series Chopped Canada, responded: “I’ll show you how whipped I am. Just name the place.”
He added: “I bake, sow, knit, iron, cook, and can kick your a** any day of the week. You’re tough on twitter. How about in person??”
McDermott then challenged Bracco to a fight. “Lets get in the ring man. You talk a lot of s**t. Lets throw hands.”
On June 13, McDermott said he’s up for a mixed martial arts challenge.
Bracco replied: “MMA? Is he kidding? What a baby! How about a sword fight? Get real Dean!”
McDermott responded on June 15: “sounds like someone’s afraid of a mixed martial arts fighter. Dude, just disappear.”
Bracco: “Disappear? That’s what your hoping for. I guarantee a first round Knock out! Stop hiding.”
McDermott: “Never scared. I’m good to go. Just tired of u 2 yapping. What’s ur charity u fighting 4.”
Adding to the social media drama, former major league baseball star Jose Cancesco stepped in with an offer for McDermott.
“I will train you dean,” he tweeted. “Come to vegas.”
According to Celebrity Boxing founder Damon Feldman, McDermott and Bracco will step into the ring for charity in early October.
“The match will be three, two-minute rounds and will benefit Autism,” he told RadarOnline.com.
