Valkyrae hints at a potential boxing match

The first hint that we saw from Valkyrae was her tweet following the iDubbz’s creator clash in Florida, right after the boxing match she tweeted,

“I’ve been curious what it’s like to fight somebody lol.. I’m 5’ 3.5′ and 105 pounds who wants to beat me up.”

But this was not the only hint. A few days later, she also posted a tweet flaunting her toned physique and also getting coached by a trainer.

The tweet generated a lot of hype and attention among fans reaching almost 100k likes in just a few days 

Streamers react to Valkyrae’s tweet

Many of her fellow streamers, including Nicewig, Minx, and Leslie, also reacted to the tweet, expressing their views.

KSI hints at Valkyrae’s move to boxing

The BreadBatch, an online media outlet, posted this picture on their Instagram page which read, “Will Valkyrae become the greatest female influencer boxer of all time?”


The fellow YouTube star and celebrity boxer, KSI, reacted to this also tagging his manager in the comments section. KSI has also been looking to make a comeback in boxing after his win against Logan Paul in 2019

 He posted this tweet along with the caption, “I’m back.”

KSI is set to return on August 27, but the venue and an opponent are yet to be decided and after three years since KSI’s last fight, it seems that he might be falling behind his rival Logan Paul

Though only speculation about an appearance from Valkyrae should certainly boost the interest in KSI’s event, as she could potentially bring a large audience to the event.

This begs the question, will Valkyrae make her boxing debut on the undercard of KSI’s event, and if so do you think that she could win in a boxing match, let us know in the comments section.
