Influencer boxing has taken the whole world by storm. What started with a couple of YouTubers battling it out to settle their differences has now turned into a multimillion-dollar industry, bringing a new audience to the sport. To that end, it was recently announced on social media that influencer Not Logan Paul will face Michael Maradeo in Anthony Taylor’s new promotional company, Creator Fight League.
If Not Logan Paul’s name reminds of someone else’s, it’s no coincidence. The influencer has created a brand around himself by being a lookalike of Logan Paul. On the other hand, Maradeo is a TikTok star and a photographer. The duo is set to face each other on April 25 in Nashville, Tennessee, and fans seem to be highly interested in it.

Fan suggests Misfits Boxing and Creator Fight League should merge!
Over the years, influencer boxing has gained quite a bit of traction among fans. So, it shouldn’t really come as a surprise that most fans had something to say about this fight. One user brought up DeenTheGreat, claiming that while new fights are being made, DeenTheGreat isn’t even allowed to spar. Interestingly, DeenTheGreat was supposed to fight in Adin Ross’ event, but Misfits Boxing stopped that from happening because DeenTheGreat could only fight in events organized by them. So, DeenTheGreat’s future is currently unclear.
