Streaming sensation IShowSpeed is showcasing his combat sports skills during his tour of Southeast Asia, stepping into the ring against a professional Muay Thai fighter — and this is merely the beginning of his adventures.

After the outstanding success of his viral European tour in summer 2024, IShowSpeed is currently exploring various locations throughout Southeast Asia.

His broadcasts have already revealed some thrilling moments; from nearly falling off an elephant to experiencing a car crash, Speed’s international trips promise endless excitement.

The fun is just getting underway, as the streamer hinted at even more extraordinary experiences during his time in Thailand on September 9.

Thailand is a treasure trove for curious visitors, known for its national combat sport — Muay Thai. It wasn’t long before Speed found himself at a Muay Thai gym, where he prepared to spar with a professional fighter.

While it’s evident that the influencer understands the fundamentals, he struggled against his opponent, who knocked him to the canvas several times during their match.

Despite Speed’s valiant effort and his claims of prowess, the true victor was apparent… but the excitement doesn’t end there.

As he removed his shin guards, a perspiring Speed grinned and disclosed plans to spar with “one of the most famous fighters of all time.”

“I went hand-to-hand with a professional,” he remarked. “Come on now, chat. This sh*t too easy. …chat, you know a real fighter who I’m about to fight in the next upcoming days?”

“This week. I’m not gonna say too much, though.”

At the time of this writing, it remains a mystery who Speed intends to face — but with Thailand’s rich pool of experienced Muay Thai fighters, the speculation about his next sparring partner is tantalizing.

This isn’t Speed’s first venture into combat sports. He previously succeeded in tapping out fellow streamer Adin Ross during an unplanned grappling match officiated by none other than UFC President Dana White.

Considering his athletic ability, it’s no surprise that Speed can hold his own in the ring… but fans will have to stay tuned to see how he fares against his next challenger.
