Just a week after the fight between Floyd Mayweather and Logan Paul, there has been another spark between two others who felt like they could fight as well. This event was called “Battle of the Platforms,” where some social media influencers from TikTok and Youtube fought head-to-head in boxing matches. The two who fought were Austin McBroom, 29 years old, and Bryce Hall, who is 21 years old. This event had a huge turnout and was held in Miami, Florida, on June 12.
