Qatar hosts Misfits Boxing Series 19 with a long-awaited matchup taking place ion the headliner. Youtubers, Anesongib and Slim Albaher, have been at each others throats for months as their rivalry has become more exhilarating to watch. With all the anticipation just hours away from the fight, here is how Gib has got into this position.
Anesongib began his Boxing career back in February 2018 when he faced Max Plays in a three-round amateur bout in London. He kicked off his debut with a second-round TKO win.
Gib would go on to fight Jay Swingler in the same year in August, with the battle being another amateur bout but this time four rounds. The Riyadh-born Youtuber once again took the victory, this time defeating Swingler by unanimous decision.
The Seven Figure Gibber would then make his professional Boxing debut in Miami as he faced popular influencer, Jake Paul. This would be a huge downfall for the London resident as he suffered a first-round TKO loss.
16 months after his devastating loss, Gib would return to a Boxing ring with redemption on his mind. He would go on to face Tayler Holder with the Influencer Boxing promotion, Social Gloves, which would be a five-round bout taking place in Miami.
When the fight ended, it was resulted as a majority draw which was seen as a massive robbery with the British fighter dominating five rounds. The contest would reviewed by ISKA due to the dodgy scorecards from judges, and the result changed to an unanimous decision win for Anesongib.
Gib then planned to plot revenge on Social Gloves' CEO, Austin McBroom, for taking away his victorious moment in the ring. McBroom fought fought on the headliner of the same event when he defeated Bryce Hall by TKO in the third round.
The Youtuber with over two million subscribers got his long-awaited vengeance against the CEO of Social Gloves, defeating McBroom in Los Angeles by forth-round knockout after earning five knockdowns.
Seven months later, Kingpyn Boxing made an eight-man tournament, as a way to see who was declared as the greatest influencer boxer. The names included; Gib, King Kenny, Faze Jarvis, Tom Zanetti, Austin McBroom, Whindersson Nunes, Filipek, My Mate Nate.
In a surprising reveal, Gib would face McBroom in a rematch, this time the six-round bout would take place in London. The Seven Figure Gibber once again was victorious, winning by third-round TKO.
Anesongib proceeded to the Semi-Finals of the Kingpyn tournament, facing Faze Jarvis in a five-round bout in Dublin. Gib would take the victory winning by unanimous decision.
After the Semi-Finals had occurred, Kingpyn had gone bankrupt, leaving Gib in a confusing position as to what his future would hold in Influencer Boxing.
On 14th September, it was revealed that Gib has signed a deal with Misfits Boxing and face Slim in an eight-round Middleweight bout, a fight which has been long-awaited with call outs being made by the Misfits Middleweight Champion.
