Kingpyn Boxing rose to fame when it established itself to cater to the growing demand for a boxing platform to serve all aspiring influencers. While Jake Paul and KSI among other influencers had made it to the ring, the need for such a platform was heavily felt. Kalle Sauerland’s promotion company emerged to compete with Misfits Boxing and DAZN. The company put out a tournament earlier this year to see which creator would rise to the top. The quarter-final took place on April 22 at the OVO Arena in London. Further, the semi-final was on July 1 in Dublin. However, now the tournament stands mostly canceled as Kingpyn has filed for bankruptcy.

The company had scheduled a semi-final between AnEsonGib and Jarvis, on July 15, 2023, at the 3Arena. That too seemingly stands cancelled. On the other hand, KSI’s Misfits has secured a five-year deal with DAZN. Amidst this chaotic development, fans have taken to social media to express their disappointment at the fall of Kingpyn. Anthony ‘Pretty Boy’ Taylor has also spoken up about the reported bankruptcy.

The Fall of Kingpyn: What do people think?

The Internet has exploded into various sets of feelings around Kingpyn filing for bankruptcy. While some concur with what ‘ Pretty Boy’ said others feel like it is a dent to the influencer boxing scene. The multiple reactions range from feelings over the line-up of the scheduled tournament to questions about what this does to aspirators who wish to enter the ring.  Some have also expressed that they saw this coming given the massive amount of money that was being poured into these bouts.
