Lenny Dykstra and the Bagel Boss Guy couldn't wait until Sept. 28 to start throwing down.
The former Met and the pint-sized viral video sensation got into a wild skirmish Thursday during a Philadelphia news conference promoting their upcoming boxing match in Atlantic City.
The Bagel Boss Guy -- aka Chris Morgan -- was seated at a table speaking into a microphone when Dykstra stood up, reached over and knocked the mic out of his hands. Morgan then tossed a water bottle at him.
And then while posing for stare-down photos, Dykstra shoved Morgan, who accused the retired baseball star of being drunk, in the chest. A little later, after some shouting back and forth, Dykstra darted toward Morgan, landing on a pair of tables as spectators chanted "Lenny! Lenny!"

August 22, 2019 Dykstra, the 56-year-old, three-time MLB All-Star, and Morgan, 45, who rose to fame after being caught on video screaming at customers at a Long Island bagel shop about how difficult life is for a 5-foot-tall man, are scheduled to fight at the Showboat Hotel on Sept. 28.

July 10, 2019 Morgan has agreed to stop referring to himself as the "Bagel Boss Guy" after the bagel chain sent him a cease-and-desist letter. He was referred to as the "Angry Bagel Guy" on Thursday.
