The world of influencer boxing is heating up again as fans gear up for KSI‘s next Misfits event. The upcoming Misfits 006 will feature influencer boxer, Jesse Lannister aka, Fangs taking on JustaMinx, a fellow content creator. The bout will be the co-main event with JMX vs Le’Veon Bell headlining the card.
‘Fangs’ is a relatively unknown boxer and will make her debut against Minx. Although she wanted to make her debut back in 2022, it was delayed due to multiple complications, and will now make her first appearance this month. Ahead of the bout, some fans pointed out that ‘Fangs’ has been handed the co-main event spot of the show without prior experience in boxing. However, she is preparing herself to the best of her abilities as fight night approaches.
This was proved after a video of her training made rounds online. In the video, the social media influencer can be seen working the pads with her trainer. Despite her form looking pretty good, her stance and guard were criticized by fans. This combined with the lack of credentials, ‘Fangs’ has found herself as the punching bag for some criticism, as her boxing debut approaches.
