Speaking after the sentencing at Worcester Crown Court this week, Jon said: “I have my own reasons for not pressing charges but the whole attack was on CCTV.
“You can’t just stab someone up and get 50 months. He [Daniel Smith] nearly killed me he’ll be out [of prison] next year.”
Jon also revealed the near-fatal attack was triggered after an argument on Facebook.
He said: “I had posted a video on Facebook which included someone they both know and they wanted me to take it down but I refused.
“The day of the attack I walked into the gym and I knew there would be some kind of altercation but I expected it to be fists.
“When they ran at me I noticed the large red knife coming towards me and I just focused on that. When one of them got me in a head lock the other one stabbed me.
“I’ve been boxing for years and my training kicked in and I managed to wrestle myself free and chinned one of them and he went down.
“I got the other one down too and it was only then that I realised I’d been stabbed in the chest.”
Jon subsequently shared footage of the attack on social media with the caption: “How to defend yourself against The Chuckle Brothers trying to end your life with a knife.
“Imagine doubling up on a man and getting flattened. This shows the importance of self defence in today’s society.
“As although there is no place for this, unfortunately it happens.
“When you put into context that this was over nothing more than a Facebook post, it makes you wonder where peoples’ pride is.”
