Booth said, “It’s because I have been doing videos for two years, talking off all kinds of stuff. Most of the time when I do videos, I’ve had a few glasses of wine. So I talk a lot of s***t. I forget what I said most of the time. So when I went to Joshua’s gym, he started walking up to me… He came up to me and said to me, ‘What did you say about me in the video?’ so I said, ‘What did I say?’ Then he said, ‘Get out of my gym.'”

He said, “I didn’t just run out straight away. I wanted to keep a little bit of pride, and a bit of dignity. I stood there for about 10 seconds. Then I said, “I will f*** off.” Of course, I wanted him to hit to so that I could get compensation…If I got murdered by Joshua, that would go viral. I don’t want to be dead. Joshua is a big guy.”

It’s hard not to agree with Tyan Booth. You wouldn’t want to pick a fight with the heavyweight champion of the world. Additionally, Booth is also right when he says it’s the kind of content that will sell. As a YouTuber, Booth is well aware that had he gotten hit by Joshua, it would have made him famous.
