The time has finally come — the fight of the year is happening in just a few hours!
Social Gloves: Battle of the Platforms is taking over the Sunshine State and beyond this evening, beginning at 7PM ET/4PM PT at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, FL.
Whether you scored a ticket to the event in-person or purchased a PPV package, tonight’s fight is bound to be one of the most talked about pop culture events in social media history, as it brings together the icons of social media and hottest musical performers for an unforgettable night while bringing closure to some of the most buzzworthy online feuds.
While there are eight fights expected to take place, YouTuber Austin McBroom and TikToker Bryce Hall‘s matchup is slated to be the main event. The Internet stars are finally settling their beef from last December, after McBroom accused Hall of being “too scared to fight” over text and a now-deleted Instagram post. Another noteworthy matchup to watch tonight comes from AnEsonGib and Tayler Holder, as AnEsonGib is looking to redeem himself from the infamous and embarrassing loss to Jake Paul back in January 2020.
