Boxing has always been a sport that brings people together, whether it’s to witness a display of raw athleticism or to root for their favorite fighter. However, in recent years, a new trend has emerged – influencer boxing. From YouTubers to TikTokers, these social media stars have stepped into the ring and attracted a massive audience. But with fame and fortune comes controversy, and the latest uproar involves Kingpyn Boxing.

Just a few weeks before their tournament, the Professional Boxing Association (PBA) suspended their license. Was it due to unfair practices, safety concerns, or something else entirely? The suspension has sparked a heated debate among boxing enthusiasts, with some arguing that this is a necessary step to maintain integrity in the sport while others believe that the PBA’s decision is unwarranted.

Some fans expressed skepticism about the motives behind the decision. “Mams Taylor and KSI definitely behind this sabotage lol, someone explain to me why PBA won’t suspend Misfits too and only KingPyn?” tweeted @PhishFood88.

Others, however, saw the decision as a sign of much-needed regulation in the world of influencer boxing. “Glad to see there still some regulation and restrictions. Influencers been trying to turn boxing into a money farm. Global titans, kingpyn, fanmio ect,” wrote @Screw_Doo.

Meanwhile, some fans took the opportunity to assert the dominance of Misfits Boxing, which has emerged as a major player in the world of influencer boxing. “Well that proves it misfits still the king of influencer boxing lmao 🤣,” tweeted @LincolnDavison.

While @ANGUIANOABRAM suggests that influencers should just go to Misfits instead of creating their own promotions, tweeting, “Bro they should just all go to misfits instead of them making their own boxing org promotion.”
