Matt Willis thinks Busted would beat McFly in a fight

Matt Willis thinks Tom Fletcher and Dougie Poynter would be useless in a fight and he’d have no worries about taking on the McFly pair.
The Busted bassist – who collaborated with bandmate James Bourne and the McFly boys for super-group McBusted in 2014 – has joked a scrap between the pals wouldn’t be a fair contest.
He told Digital Spy: "We [Busted] would win. I’d be able to take three of them easy. The only one I’d be worried about is maybe Danny [Jones] and Harry [Judd] together. Then they’d maybe be able to take me. The others are pointless."
The 35-year-old musician – who reformed the ‘Year 3000’ trio in 2016 alongside James and returning member Charlie Simpson – even joked about which of his friends he’d like to punch.
Asked who he’d hit in the face if he knew there’d be no consequences, Matt said: "I love these boys but I’d punch Harry just for fun.
"I think he’d take it the best. I’d punch Dougie in the balls."
Although the idea of a McBusted reunion is uncertain, the star – who is married to ‘The Voice’ host Emma Willis – was also asked about the possibility of teaming up with superstar boy band BTS, but it wasn’t good news for the South Korean seven piece.
He shrugged: "I have no idea who BTS are. No idea. I listen to Green Day, Blink 182 and the Backstreet Boys equally."
Earlier this year, Matt and Emma – who have children Isabelle, nine, Ace, six, and two-year-old Trixie together – renewed their wedding vows and he chose his son as his best man.
He previously revealed: "Ace was my best man, and it was the most amazing thing, he had the ring and he kind of fumbled with it a little bit and it was the cutest thing ever."
