Social media influencers will once again dip their toes into the world of combat sports in the form of boxing. This time, however, fans will not witness an event where these media stars rake in loads of cash. The event to be held on Saturday, May 14th, dubbed “Creator Clash”, will feature members of the video creation platform YouTube fighting to raise money for charity.

Creator Clash will pit 20 YouTube media personalities against each other at the Yuengling Center in Tampa, Florida, on Saturday, May 14th. The main event will be a cruiserweight matchup between iDubbbz (real name: Ian Washburn) and Dr. Mike (real name: Mike Varshavski). iDubbbz, who has nearly 8 million subscribers on his main account, is responsible for the creation of this event.
Other major YouTubers like Harley (Epic Meal Time), Alex Ernst, Dad, I did a thing, and TheOdd1sOut will also be featured on the card. Akinola Verissimo, an announcer of the esports world, will be handling the in-ring announcing. Live commentary and interviews will be covered by the likes of xQcOW, Moist Cr1TiKal, and FaZe Sensei. Sensei, who’s real name is Isiah Ocasio-Pantoja, has competed in MMA, kickboxing, and most recently boxing when he defeated fellow YouTuber Overflow at the first KSI vs. Logan Paul event.
