    He engaged in competition with an actual athlete

    I haven’t been paying much attention, and didn’t even know this fight had happened until after the memes, so I might get some of this wrong. But, from what I gather, the influencer initially planned to fight a boxer who was significantly smaller and lighter, but there were legal issues with that fight. So, instead he arranged to fight Anthony Joshua. Joshua hadn’t fought in something like a year and a half. But, is an actual boxer who hasn’t fully retired.

    The way the fight went, the influencer kept running away until he was too tired to keep running, at which point, finally, the boxer was able to actually start landing punches, and eventually he broke the influencer’s jaw in 2 places.
