The influencer beatdown begins.
The first ever Creator Clash held in Tampa Bay, Florida will see eighteen influencers in their first ever boxing matches. Hosted on the University of South Florida’s main campus, all proceeds from the sold out event are set to go to the American Heart Association and Alzheimer’s Foundation of America. Online tickets for the event can still be purchased on Creator Clash’s website, and viewers can watch the event in its entirety up to 48 hours after it has concluded.
Created and lead by the popular YouTuber iDubbbz, all eighteen fighters have trained with boxing professionals for the past six to eight months leading up to the fight. With content creators spanning platforms like YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, and more, the event boasts one of the most unique fight cards in influencer boxing history.

Though absolutely caught off guard by Dad’s surprise aggression, Watson at least remained standing throughout the short match.

Though Haley managed to rally at the beginning of several rounds, Minx’s sheer power managed to win the match, with the referee ending the match in round four.
Hundar defeats AB from H3 Podcast by TKO

AB had a shining moment in round three, knocking Hundar to the ground and putting the defensive fighter on the backfoot.

After several strong shots in the fifth and final round, the referee called the match in Hundar’s favor by technical knockout.

After cornering the financial YouTuber, Stephan called the fight off and Reeves was awarded the win by TKO.
