Mob Wives star Drita D'Avanzo will not be fighting former Teen Mom OG star Farrah Abraham in the "Celebrity Boxing Showdown for Bullying" much to her disappointment. Abraham is scheduled to step into the ring with Flavor of Love star Nicole "Hoopz" Alexander instead.

D'Avanzo, 42, took to her Instagram on Monday with some words for Abraham. In the weeks leading up to this match, it's safe to assume this will not be the last thing the Mob Wives star has to say about it.

"What happened Farrah, you got scared? Don't wanna fight? Why not?" D'Avanzo said in the Instagram video as she calmly makes meatballs in her kitchen. "And now you're fighting Hoopz? You really think that Hoopz ain't gonna f--k you up?"

D'Avanzo continued. "I'm gonna put my money on Hoopz. You know what, as a matter of fact, I might wanna come watch the fight. How do you feel about that? You should grow a pair of balls. Nobody got balls. I got meatballs."

Prior to this video, D'Avanzo posted a screenshot of TMZ article on Monday where she says "Farrah wouldn't fight me because she's a little b---h."

"This [horse emoji] heard I was all in...and started galloping away....," the caption read. "Didn't wanna #catchtheslap honestly she loves publicity so much...her getting laid out..sleeping... would have been trending...be smart next time... I might have to pop up and watch this fight or maybe #referee the match. I'll be fair...no worries."

The internet feud between the two reality stars has been ongoing since they did a joint appearance in Atlantic City in July. After the event, Abraham called D'Avanzo "unprofessional" and a "has been." She filed a restraining order against D'Avanzo the same month after a threatening video was posted to Instagram.

"Drita's harassment and threat of violence is not tolerated," Abraham said in a statement to Newsweek in July. "A cease and desist has been sent and [a] police report has been made."

The celebrity boxing match will take place November 10 at the Showboat Hotel in Atlantic City.
