Famous Youtuber KSI‘s promotional banner, Misfits Boxing, is making a name for itself by introducing creative concepts in the sport of boxing. Inspired by the concepts of WWE, they organized the first ever tag team boxing fight on March 4, with Luis Alcaraz Pineda and BDave standing against Ice Poseidon and Anthony Vargas. Now, they’ve taken one step ahead and introduced the all-new Survivor tag team boxing fight. The concept is very much similar to a WWE Fatal Four fight, where all four fighters are fighting for themselves.

The fight would be for 4×3 minute rounds, and at a time only 2 fighters are allowed inside the ring. Both fighters can tag other fighters at any moment, but can’t choose the same fighter consecutively. Refusing a tag or getting knocked out, would mean elimination. So, they actually pulled off this absurd fight on July 22, 2023. And one of the participants, Swarmz, had a threatening message for his opponents before the bout started.

Just a few hours ago, the bizarre event just got concluded. The four influencers, NichLMAO, Swarmz, BDave, and Ryan Johnston competed against each other. Out of these four, NichLMAO came forth victorious, as he was the only one who did the most in the first two rounds. He squared off against every fighter, and although he was dominated by Swarmz in a couple of rounds, he managed to stand out in the whole hard-to-follow mess.

But, before the fight, it seemed like the former KSI rival, Swarmz had different plans for this fight. Swarmz stepped into the sport for the first time, when KSI had to face Alex Wassabi but he pulled out. So, in turn, he faced two boxers in one single night, well one of them was none other than Swarmz. Although he lost, he developed a love for boxing.

So before the bout, during the weigh-In, Swarmz stated, “I’ve trained more, I’ve kept up. I’m knocking out Ryan first, Nich second, BDave last.” And not only him, but even other fighters of this survivor tag fight also got hostile against each other.

Unfortunately, the results varied from the rapper’s expectations. But, the fact that he admitted to participating in this experimental bout is an example of his valor. Well, these innovative concepts have become the trademark for Misfits Boxing, and this is also what the famous Youtuber, KSI, has in his mind with his banner.
