This is a strong contender for the “Best Thing To Ever Happen To Twitter – Ever” Award. English boxer, Curtis Woodhouse recently suffered abuse at the hands of an anonymous Twitter troll following defeat in the ring to Shane Singleton over the weekend.
Twitter user, @JimmyOB88 castigated Woodhouse for the loss of his light-welterweight title on Friday night, calling him a “disgrace”.
The anonymous user had been trolling Woodhouse on Twitter for months, and the most recent round of abuse proved to be the straw that would break the camel’s back.
Infuriated, Woodhouse called on his followers to help him locate the troll, to confront him in person.
What happened next was the greatest take down of a cowardly bully on the internet since Casey The Punisher.

Woodhouse got to Jimmy’s street before the troll made a public apology. He has since deleted most of his tweets.
