- A no good, very bad, just plain horrible YouTube
boxing event descended into chaos Saturday. - One influencer got disqualified for head-butting his opponent.
A no good, very bad, just plain horrible YouTube boxing event Saturday descended into chaos when one influencer head-butted his opponent.
Content creator Ryan Taylor committed the flagrant foul in the first round in what had been billed as a grudge match, which was held as part of the ShowStar event broadcast from London.
The Mirror reported that Taylor later complained that he'd been hit low, causing him to crack his forehead into his opponent DK Money's face as a response.
DK Money staggered backward and looked for a place to fall onto the canvas.
Taylor was promptly disqualified and the crowd almost rioted, as per The Mirror.
Stromedy, a creator who fought earlier in the evening and was working DK Money's corner, said it was "fucking bullshit" when he fumed at The Mirror.
"I don't know what the fuck happened, that's what I'm trying to guess. "What the fuck was that?!"
Somebody should have told Stromedy it was a head-butt.
Influencer KeemStar called it an "absolute disgrace" on Twitter.

However, the foul was not the only nonsense of the evening as one excitable fan tried to climb into the ring in the middle of the Deji vs. Alex Wassabi main event, prompting security to intervene and chuck the person out.
KeemStar also said people were throwing things into the ring.

But this is the kind of silliness one can expect when people who have no training in a martial art, start cosplaying as fighters.
Now if only we can all get back to serious matters in pugilism, like who boxing prospect and former YouTube boxer Jake Paul might fight when he returns to the ring later this year.
