Social media influencer Bryce Hall, who lost his only boxing match in 2021, plans to compete in a bare-knuckle boxing match as part of the BKFC 48 card against a veteran, Gee Perez, expressing excitement and arguing that the experience will help him dominate future influencer boxing matches; Hall also states that he is focusing entirely on his training this time as opposed to promotional activities.
In 2021, social media influencer Bryce Hall didn’t quite succeed in his first boxing match. For his second fight, he’s set to ditch the gloves to compete in bare-knuckle boxing in BKFC 48. Transitioning from glove-based combat to bare-knuckle boxing is a significant change, especially for newcomers like Hall. He began his journey to fame as a teenager, sharing videos on platforms such as YouTube and Vine. While he might not seem the typical candidate to take part in a bare-knuckle fight, the 23-year-old Maryland native explained that this was precisely why he wanted to do it.
Hall openly admits his first venture into boxing didn’t go as planned, after a loss and some bravado, he wanted to return to the ring. He enjoys the thrill of the boxing scene and has no plans to pursue it professionally long-term. His chosen path for redemption is bare-knuckle boxing. He sees this not only as a method of redemption but also as a unique experience no other influencer has yet to undertake. Hall is also not afraid to face a 3-0 bare-knuckle fighter in their own game, nor is he scared of the physical confrontations involved in the sport.
Bare-knuckle boxing is attracting attention, and Hall feels he is just the right level of unabashed to venture into it. He’s excited to be the only influencer to ever do it and about his upcoming match on August 11th. In recent years, boxing involving “influencers” like Jake Paul, Logan Paul, and KSI has gained popularity. Still, none of them have stepped up to compete in the brutal sport of bare-knuckle boxing – until now. Hall is proud to be the pioneer on this front.
He is preparing to face off against veteran Gee Perez, who boasts a flawless 3-0 record in BKFC. One criticism many influencers who switch to boxing face is that they often prefer battling among each other instead of challenging higher-level competitors. In Hall’s case, however, he’s stepping up to challenge a skilled veteran in the sport, daring to feel the real impact of a bare-knuckle punch. His goal is to dominate the influencer boxing scene with real fight experience behind him.
