YouTuber iDubbbz is organizing an upcoming boxing event called Creator Clash, set to include major influencers from multiple social media platforms to raise money for charity. Here’s everything we know so far.
iDubbbz is an OG YouTuber who has been trying to set up a fight with fellow influencer RiceGum since 2018.
Unfortunately, their highly-anticipated grudge match fell through — but it looks like iDubbbz is still on the hunt for a bout after this years-long project came to a halt.
Recently, fight posters were revealed by Drama Alert’s KEEMSTAR for an purported upcoming boxing event with iDubbbz on the title card. Now, we’ve got even more info on this upcoming boxing extravaganza. Here’s what we know so far.
Who is fighting in the iDubbbz boxing event?
Thus far, eleven matchups have been confirmed with twenty-two fighters total, making it one of the biggest influencer boxing events we’ve seen thus far. Creator Clash is being broadcast with the intent to raise “as much money as possible” for charities like the American Heart Association and other organizations chosen by the content creators involved.
Each influencer taking part in this unexpected showdown has reportedly trained with professional boxing coaches for over six months and are taking the event “very seriously.”
iDubbbz vs Doctor Mike
iDubbbz versus Doctor Mike is set for the title card. Doctor Mike is a notable YouTuber with over 9 million subscribers, alongside his title as a Board Certified Family Medicine Doctor.
His stint in the ring might come as a surprise to some fans, but it’s worth noting that he’s been boxing recreationally for some time — and he even sparred with female boxing legend Amanda Serrano earlier in March.
JustaMinx vs Yodeling Haley
Twitch star JustaMinx is set to face off against TikTok star Yodeling Haley. Minx has hinted at upcoming boxing exploits over on her Twitter account.
Graham Stephan vs Michael Reeves
Also set to star on this card is Graham Stephan, a financial content creator, versus OfflineTV’s resident robotics expert Michael Reeves. This bout is certainly bound to be an interesting one, to say the least.
Creator Clash secures professional boxing match
That’s not all; Creator Clash has added two pro fighters to its already stacked card. Thus far, it looks like this pro bout will feature super middleweight fighter Fabian ‘Sauce’ Lopez and light heavyweight boxer Radivoje Kalajdzic.
Very happy to announce we are able to add two pro boxers to our card. Happy to be able to let two well deserving athletes shine. https://t.co/e23xSfZc7h
