The latest influencer boxing promotion to take the world by storm kicks off their tournament tonight with the Kingpyn quarter finals event.
Certainly an exciting prospect, the Kingpyn promotion has hyped this event extremely well, with kick-off press conferences, randomised match-ups and plenty of back and forth between competitors. Of course, we aren’t going to see the next world champion, however, let’s hope that we see a decent level of skill on show from each and every fighter out there.
Main Event
The main event sees a rematch between British Youtuber, Anesongib and Austin McBroom. The two met previously in September of last year, with ‘Gib’ being crowned the victor. The two had a bitter rivalry prior to that fight, however, now things appear to be far more respectful between the two. It’s a rematch that many fans of crossover boxing wanted to see as McBroom was able to knock Gib down before he was stopped, leading to many questions being asked.
Male Bracket
Creater ‘Jarvis’, who we’ve seen spar Floyd Mayweather in recent months takes on DJ, Tom Zanetti, a man who has crossed over to the influencer boxing scene well. Although he lost his debut to Slim Albaher, he put up a good fight, is a recognisable name and will be looking to give it his all to progress to the semi-finals.
Brazilian influencer, Whindersson Nunes takes on a ‘mystery fighter’, Filipek, a Polish rapper with a 2-2 MMA record. Nunes has an insane 58.8 million Instagram followers, proving just how big a draw he could be.
Beta squad member, King Kenny makes his fifth influencer boxing appearance taking on Thai-Language content creator, MyMateNate. Nate is 3-0 in influencer boxing, having only ever competed in Thailand.
Elsewhere on the card, American rapper, Blueface will take on British TikTokker, Ed Matthews in a fight which could serve as an alternate for the male tournament.
Female Bracket
In the women’s bracket, TikTok star, Onlyfans creators and recognisable face in the world of influencer boxing, Elle Brooke features against Polish star, Ms Danielka. Brooke will have a five inch height disadvantage in this one, which has made for comical face-offs.
Brooke’s lesser known sister, Emily Brooke, another Onlyfans content creator will take on (another) Onlyfans content creator in Amber O’Donnell. These two women appear to have a lot of bad blood between them which should provide an entertaining fight.
WILD! 😳
