"One Direction have said that their ongoing spat with The Wanted is getting &amp;quot;boring&amp;quot;. The band told Metro that they had accepted their rivals&amp;#039; offer of a fight, but suggested that they had backed down.   Zayn Malik told the newspaper: &amp;quot;I already offered Max [George]. I asked him if he wants to fight. I&amp;#039;ve already said to him I&amp;#039;ll fight him and he didn&amp;#039;t want to.&amp;quot; Louis Tomlinson added: &amp;quot;It is such b*llocks because they will not live up to their word.&amp;quot; Liam Payne said: &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re all too busy anyway. When is this ever going to happen? We&amp;#039;d have to do it on a day off and that would be boring.&amp;quot;  Tomlinson added: &amp;quot;I love an argument, but it&amp;#039;s even got boring for me now. I mean... grow up.&amp;quot; Malik said: &amp;quot;We met them on The X Factor and they were proper nice and we thought, &amp;#039;We really like you&amp;#039;.&amp;quot; Tomlinson agreed, saying: &amp;quot;We looked up to them.&amp;quot; Of the possibility of a reconciliatory duet, Payne said: &amp;quot;Let&amp;#039;s do one and call it &amp;#039;The Homeboys Part II&amp;#039;.  Tomlinson countered: &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t think our musical styles would be suited. Our sound is quite different.&amp;quot; George of The Wanted last month made comments about Tomlinson&amp;#039;s sexuality, while his bandmate Tom Parker has also made similar remarks in the past. However, George and his The Wanted colleague Jay McGuiness have also praised Harry Styles, describing him as &amp;quot;a cool guy&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;top shagger&amp;quot; who has &amp;quot;retained manners and a bit of dignity&amp;quot;. Malik and George recently argued via Twitter, with George calling the One Direction star a &amp;quot;geek&amp;quot; and Malik responding by calling him &amp;quot;chlamydia boy&amp;quot;. The two boybands have had a long-running feud.  Tomlinson had previously said that he would be happy for The Wanted to support One Direction, before appearing to mock the group. George recently admitted that the groups are &amp;quot;not the best of friends&amp;quot; and accused One Direction of making &amp;quot;little comments in interviews when we&amp;#039;re mentioned&amp;quot;. Previously, George claimed that there was &amp;quot;no rivalry there&amp;quot;, with his bandmate Parker adding that &amp;quot;they&amp;#039;re doing their thing and we&amp;#039;re doing our thing and I think it&amp;#039;s just great with the two British bands in the US&amp;quot;.  In March last year, George had said that his group were &amp;quot;more of a music band&amp;quot; than One Direction, who were &amp;quot;more faces, if you know what I mean&amp;quot;. Speaking before One Direction topped the US Billboard album chart with their debut Up All Night, George added: &amp;quot;Our song [&amp;#039;Glad You Came&amp;#039;] is number four in the charts... Maybe when they have a song right next to us in the charts over there, they&amp;#039;ll be competition.&amp;quot; Payne had said that while The Wanted were nice to their faces, they were &amp;quot;really trashy&amp;quot; about his band in the media. The Wanted&amp;#039;s Nathan Sykes suggested previously that the rivals could collaborate for a charity single, and implied that the media had attempted to invent a rivalry between the groups.
