Adin Ross, a renowned Twitch broadcaster, has decided to take the next step in his career by becoming a professional boxer. The online celebrity, whose viewership has increased following his recent suspension from Twitch, announced his intention to enter boxing during one of his most recent broadcasts, naming an opponent for his first bout.
Many popular Twitch broadcasters have established themselves as names in other fields because of the platform’s explosive growth in recent years. Many of the streaming platform’s most successful artists have used it as a springboard to try their hands at other forms of monetization, such as collaborations, sponsorship agreements, and the current uptick in influencer boxing fights.
If what he said in a recent live broadcast is any indication, Adin Ross is the most recent online celebrity to join the pro-fighting movement. The feed then cuts to Ross chatting with the security who broke his arm earlier in the show. The streamer said that he would make his fighting debut in 2024 but did not provide a precise day for his fans to anticipate. Ross even throws a little bit of a tease by claiming he already has an opponent in mind for his first bout. He didn’t say who this probable opponent was since he didn’t want anybody to know the name of the opponent until it was time.
Many people have commented on the Happy Punch Twitter account’s release of a short film, guessing on who Ross’s possible adversary would be. People speculated about everything from RiceGum to Bryce Hall, and some even questioned whether or not Ross would really fight. People may ask why Ross would want to pursue an athletic career at all, given the rich Stake sponsorship and expanding viewing count.
The streamer’s profession has had its share of dramatic ups and downs, from nearly meeting Kanye West to getting smacked live on Twitch. To have achieved such much acclaim on one of the most prominent online live-streaming services is remarkable. Whether one views his videos with awe or contempt, there can be no denying that he is continuing to expand his audience. He may have been motivated by the prospect of reaching a brand new audience who are unaware of him because of the huge success of his previous endeavors.
