THE grudge fight between Married At First Sight UK stars Luke Worley and Jordan Gayle has been cancelled.
The reality stars were set to meet inside the ring on February 9, at Indigo at The O2.
However, in a new update, it has been revealed that Luke has been pulled from the boxing card.
Taking to Instagram on Friday, the official DKM Plush boxing page announced: "It is with deep regret we announce that the scheduled bout between Luke Worley & Jordan Gayle has been cancelled by ourselves (DKM Plush).
"Boxing can be a brutal, unforgiving sport & due to the comments outside of training for the scheduled bout, we have concerns that Luke hasn't been able to train as we would expect from him worthy of a 5 x 2 min bout on February 9th.
"We understand that on the back of reality shows, there are comments & opportunities that are only available for a while.

"The time in the spotlight off the back of taking part in such a series is short lives & we understand that comment to a regulated training camp is hard to maintain.
"However, as much as we understand the busy schedules of both fights, we would still expect a full camp to take place to ensure both are ready to enter the ring on Feb 9th & unfortunately, this hasn't been the case for Luke."
They continued: "Whilst we regret this bout between Luke and Jordan will not take place, we are happy to announce that Jordan will still be fighting on the action-packed card & a new opponent will be announced in the coming days."
Tensions between Luke and Jordan have been high ever since their altercation on the E4 series.

Luke accused Jordan of badmouthing him to his ex-wife Jay Howard, who was left in tears over the pair's rivalry.
Luke and Jay married after meeting for the first time at the alter but their romance was quickly shaken by Jordan after he stirred the pot in scenes captured on the E4 series.
Luke and Jordan reached a boiling point when the salesman discovered that the Jack Grealish lookalike had informed Jay that he would cheat on her if he believed he could get away with it.
Luke stormed into Jordan's apartment where he was living as part of the TV dating experiment before physically challenging him.
As a result of the fight, the producers called an end to Luke's time in the process.
Last month, the two men came face to face at an event in London and Luke later claimed Jordan "threw a drink" over him and "tried to slap him".
