IShowSpeed has made headlines by responding to a boxing match proposal from French YouTube sensation INOXTAG, displaying remarkable confidence in his abilities.
The trend of influencer boxing has surged in popularity since KSI and Joe Weller clashed in the ring, establishing it as a popular medium for creators to resolve conflicts. High-profile personalities like Jake Paul, Logan Paul, and KSI have transitioned into professional boxing, further propelling this trend to mainstream audiences.
However, not all bouts revolve around personal rivalries. Events organized by figures like Ibai and Westcol feature creators facing off without any pre-existing animosity, adhering to amateur boxing regulations, including the mandatory use of headgear.
IShowSpeed has expressed a keen interest in joining the ring, asserting that with a few months of dedicated training, he could potentially defeat Jake Paul. Yet, Jake is not the only contender on Speed’s radar.
Speed’s Unwavering Confidence in the Ring
During a recent stream on December 17, Speed was informed by viewers about Rebeudeter’s challenge to take him on against INOXTAG, a French streamer who boasts over 8 million YouTube subscribers and 6 million Instagram followers. Speed responded with enthusiasm, stating, “Bro, can’t nobody beat me in a fight, bro. This dude looks around 140, I’m going to tear him apart.”

For those unfamiliar with INOXTAG, he is not one to shy away from high-stakes challenges. Notably, he conquered Mount Everest after a year of preparation, earning the title of the first YouTuber to reach its summit. His journey was documented, garnering over 39 million views, captivating audiences with his perseverance and adventure.
Transitioning into boxing presents a different kind of challenge, especially for a YouTuber who boldly declares he “doesn’t play sports,”despite his remarkable Everest ascent. Speed is eager for this new challenge and has expressed interest in a face-off with Jake Paul as well. Following his planned streaming tours across Africa and Antarctica, it’s anticipated that he will hit the gym for rigorous training. Hopefully, his boxing experience will be more successful than his recent MMA sparring session with Dan Hooker.
