Wardley, 30, and Miller, 36, met at the home of the Tractor Boys earlier today for their first presser.

The British star arrived decked out in an Ipswich shirt.

American Miller, meanwhile, wore the jersey of Town's big rivals Norwich City in a bid to wind Wardley up.

As proceedings progressed, however, it was Miller who appeared more and more irate.

Things reached a boiling point when Big Baby accused Wardley of making a song about him.

He said: "We are cut from different cloths. I was being really respectful, then he made a r***** a**** diss song 'Big Baby Killer'.

"Where I come from, that is a death threat. I'm running you down, I'm coming to your face, plain and simple. I'm going to f*** you up."

Wearing a confused expression, Wardley replied: "I don't know what song you're taking about."

As the Brit continued to deny it, Miller grew more and more frustrated.

He fumed: "Say one time, Big Baby killer, I dare you.

"That's what fat kids do, they make tracks. I press people. Deontay Wilder, Anthony Joshua, I pressed them.

"I go to people's gyms and whip their a****. The only person who got over on me was Dubois because I took it on short notice.

"F*** him, you're making a diss track about Big Baby killer, where I come from, it is a death threat."

The huge heavyweight appeared to make a gun gesture towards Wardley's head, before slapping out at him.

At this point chaos descended, with several members of staff keeping the two fighters separated.

The press conference then ended without a customary face-off between the two fighters.
