Bryce Hall of TikTok has stated that he will be fighting again this summer, and with Jake Paul and KSI both having events at the same time, fans are already wondering who the star will face.
He made his influencer boxing debut in 2021 when he walked into the ring with Austin McBroom of The ACE Family as part of Social Gloves’ Battle of the Platforms event, which pitted a number of YouTubers and TikTokers against one another.

Bryce Hall, 22 was defeated by Austin in the fight, but the event was marred by controversy after numerous fighters and crew members reported that they were not paid.
Some fans have been waiting for the TikTok star to return to boxing, and he did so on May 15, announcing his return to the sport. He tweeted, “BOXING MATCH THIS SUMMER; I’m coming back baby.”
He hasn’t said who he’ll be fighting yet, but fans have already been guessing about who his opponent might be.
The Island Boys
The Island Boys, perhaps the most likely contenders, have been in an online spat with Bryce for months over a possible boxing match.
Although it appeared for a time that a confrontation between them would not take place. Bryce said in an April 28 YouTube vlog that the influencers had finally accepted his offer.
He said, “The Island Boys eventually accepted my offer to fight in a 2v1 boxing bout.” “They were caught in my trap immediately away.” He subsequently added, “They saw very soon how quickly they were sinking into irrelevance.” I’m not just a killer; I also help folks resurrect their careers! I’m looking forward to fighting you, Island Boys.”
Deji Olatunji
Deji Olatunji KSI’s younger brother Deji has three losses on his record, with his most recent loss coming in March 2022 to YouTuber Alex Wassabi.
He originally stated that if he lost that battle, he would retire from the sport. However, he later changed his mind.
“I want you to look at me as a role model.” I’ve failed three times, but I’m not giving up. I’m returning. I’m going to keep boxing, and I’m going to win. “And you can bet I’ll do it,” he stated in a YouTube video.
Wassabi, Deji’s opponent, even suggested that Deji fight Bryce Hall next, indicating that there is some interest in the pairing.
KSI event or Jake Paul?
Although it’s improbable that Jake Paul or KSI would fight Bryce, both of these influencers have events scheduled for this summer, causing some fans to believe that Bryce would appear on one of their undercards.
On May 4, KSI posted a teaser trailer to Twitter, confirming that his next bout will take place on August 27. However, no opponent has been named as of yet.
Jake Paul also announced in May that he would be returning to the ring on August 13, but he has yet to reveal who he would face.
It’s unclear whether Bryce will be on the undercard for any of these fights, but it appears that some fans are hoping to see him at one of them.
Although it is unclear who Bryce will fight, influencer boxing is set to have a very busy summer.
