In the intriguing matchup, Gib stood up to his size and experience. He defeated Jarvis with a cleaner hand. However, the clash was not one-sided. Jarvis went on to challenge his opponent with his technical prowess and give a tough win to Gib. The first two rounds saw a befitting clash of the two up-and-coming fighters as both struggled to land impactful punches on each other. However, as the third and fourth rounds progressed into the fifth, Gib stood his ground and secured his place in the finale.
A banter with KSI, Gib vowed to win against Jarvis
As AnEsonGib prepared for his big fight at the Kingpyn qualifier against Jarvis, he gave an interview wherein the fighter had quite a few things to say. Firstly, he responded to the British influencer-turned-fighter, KSI. The latter took shots at Gib as he called him a ‘four-figure fighter’.

Quite an alliteration of that nickname, but what it refers is to perhaps the idea that fighters like Gib charge a four-figure fee for fights, while KSI charges massive amounts for exhibitions. Gib retorted by saying that he in fact was the best-paid fighter in the tournament.
Coming to Jarvis, the boxer said that he holds nothing personal against Jarvis. He said he was confident to win against his opponent and will come down hard on Jarvis, demonstrating his technical acumen in the ring. He said, “I’m too technical. I’m gonna teach him a lesson. I’m gonna hit him hard.” Gib did exactly that as he beat Jarvis to keep his word.
