The latest influencer-driven event in Dublin is set to be headlined by trickster King Kenny and Brazilian funnyman Whindersson Nunes.
Elle Brooke, who boasts a fanbase of millions on TikTok, is also on the roster, along with 6ar6ie6, an Australian identifying herself as a "six-foot goth girl fond of dolls and heavy lifting."
Here's an overview of Kingpyn Boxing and its role in the tournament.
Understanding Kingpyn Boxing
Kingpyn functions as a platform that facilitates boxing matches between well-known personalities typically not recognized for their boxing prowess.
These fights often involve influencers and YouTube celebrities, leveraging the allure of stars swapping the glamour for the gloves.
In one of Kingpyn's 2022 encounters, Brooke triumphed over AJ Bunker in a co-main event held at London's O2 Indigo, tagged as "the largest TikTok boxing occasion of the year."
In an unexpected twist, AnEsonGib rebounded from an early knockdown against McBroom, knocking him down five times. Referee Jack Reiss's efforts to prolong the match were in vain, as he ultimately declared AnEsonGib the victor via knockout.
Kingpyn's Participation in High Stakes
High Stakes, the tournament featuring men and women with a combined social media following reportedly surpassing 210 million, was coordinated by Kingpyn.
The first event of this tournament was held at the Wembley Arena, with a seating capacity of 12,500, and touted as "the inaugural global influencer boxing tournament."
The competition is structured over three stages: the quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals, with each participant entering the ring three times.
Consequently, all contenders face each other twice, with the finale event organizing more matches to determine the final tournament positions.
