If it happened a few months ago, I'm pretty darn sure you'll be alright lol.

Misdemeanors, what your threat was at the most, has a 2 year from the time of occurrence, statute of limitations in the UK.

There are a couple of possible offences you may have committed which include threats to kill and offensive communications.
It seems very unlikely you will hear anymore about this as it was six months ago and the fact that you apologised may have placated the person.
There actually is no statue of limitations in relation to proven written offences as crimes sometimes take a very long while to be proven however as I say I do not think you will hear anything more about this.just make sure the boxer does not get your home address.
