The latest boxing craze is set to see the battle of YouTubers against TikTokers and there are some huge names on the card - with Bryce Hall and Austin McBroom headlining the show.
The boxing world has seen many influencers enter the ring over recent years and celebrities such as KSI and Logan Paul have fought each other following a war of words beforehand.
The pair were seen promoting their upcoming fight earlier this month when the event took a chaotic turn.
Much like Jake Paul's scuffle with Floyd Mayweather two weeks prior, the press room turned into an all-out brawl, and the broadcast ended shortly thereafter.
As McBroom was talking, Hall suddenly rushed his opponent, leading to a scuffle between the two.
The two were grabbing ahold of each other as Hall went to the floor, with their teams struggling to separate them.
Come to find out @brycehall is as strong as my 10 month old baby boy. Steel boy you wanna fight him instead of me :joy:

Bryce, who hasn't even thrown down in his first official boxing match yet, says he is already planning on scrapping with KSI afterwards.
The TikTok superstar told TMZ that he's got a beef brewing with the British social media star - and that he wants to settle in the ring next.
It's unclear how the feud between the two social media stars started, however, they've exchanged verbal jabs repeatedly on Twitter over the last few weeks.
After Logan Paul's eight-round bout with Mayweather Jr on June 6, Hall and McBroom nearly came to blows again - with their entourages having to be swiftly separated by police.
Their upcoming fight looks to be pulling in hundreds of thousands of fans, if not millions, and they will all be tuning in to see which influencers come out on top.
Also fighting on the card and flying the flag for the Brits will be Deji, KSI's younger brother, and AnEsonGib - who both have boxing experience, having come up against Jake Paul in recent years.
So when exactly are Bruce and Austin fighting and what do we know about it so far?

Austin McBroom mocks Bryce Hall on Instagram
McBroom has not let down on his feud with Bryce Hall, even on his birthday. The YouTuber was delivered a cake that took a jab at the TikTokker.
The cake was a boxing ring, with two figurines and McBroom stuck a picture of both fighters - one on each figurine.
A slightly peculiar cake to buy yourself if you're 29-year-old, but you do you, Austin.
