Zucker punch
Youtuber “Zuckles” was deducted TWO points for a shocking illegal move on KSI’s undercard.
The Australian – real name Mason Bradford – faced mystery opponent Halal Ham in the Wembley Arena prelim opening bout.
And following three frustrating rounds, Zuckles quite literally threw caution to the wind by unleashing a UFC-style elbow.
It caused chaos in the ring as Ham – real name Hamad Khan – protested alongside his coach.
Zuckles was given a stern two point deduction and was able to see out the third and final round without getting disqualified.
He was beaten on the scorecards but fans were still in shock by his elbow after the result was announced.

Hug it out
The two fighters embrace in the ring, and that brings an end to the pre-show here at Wembley Arena.
The main card will begin shortly.
Boogie is halfway up the ramp to the exit. Wings is posing for photos in the ring.
Count out
Wings of Redemption picked up where he left off in round one and Boogie had no response.
He took a number of massive blows and was forced into another count.
This time the referee waved it off. He didn’t like the look in Boogie’s eyes.
It’s over
Wings wins by TKO!
Ding ding ding
Wings has completely dominated that round.
He landed shot after shot on Boogie, who had no answer but to turn around and try and catch a break.
Also the ring looks to be pretty sturdy still.
Short of it
Boogie is taking a count. It doesn’t look like he went down but he rocked heavily on the ropes.
His shorts are also falling down. His corner is taking time to pull them up and tighten them.
Just when you think you’ve seen it all.
Seconds out
We’re underway. Round 1.
Singalong
Wings is singing his entrance music – I’m not too sure what it is.
He’s wearing red shorts with black trim and looks slightly the smaller man… only very slightly.
Grand entrance
Boogie makes his way out to ‘Ridin Dirty’ by Chamillionaire in green shorts with gold and black trim and a hype man following him down the ramp.
And now it’s time for Wings of Redemption.
Here we go
OK, we’ve just had a rendition of the US national anthem that got a mixed reception from the Wembley crowd.
And we’re ready to welcome the fighters… here comes Boogie!
We have a winner
Unbaer had won a split decision that probably could’ve gone either way.
No complaints from Corn. He leaves the ring… which is bracing itself for 800lbs worth of boxer coming in very shortly.
Seconds out
Our third bout of the evening has just ended.
We’ll find out a winner very shortly, but both men look absolutely exhausted.
Boogie and Wings are next up.
Who is Wings of Redemption?
Real name Richard Jordan, Wings of Redemption is also a video game influencer who has been caught up in some controversy of his own.
The 37-year-old had his Twitch account temporarily suspended in 2021 after rising to fame in the early days of the Call of Duty games.
His account was apparently blocked because he used “hate speech.”
Next up
We have one more fight before the one we’re waiting for.
It’s Corn vs Unbaer. And then we’ll have Boogie and Wings probably in around 20 minutes from now for the pre-show main event, if there is such a thing.

Halfway there
We’re two bouts down and two to go on the undercard.
Luis Nestor from Tampa, Florida has just beaten Callum King from Sevenoaks in Kent.
Halal Ham was a mystery opponent to start the night and he beat Zuckles in quite spectacular fashion.
Who is Boogie 2988?
Real name Steven Jay Williams, Boogie2988 is an American YouTube star known for making videos about gaming.
The 48-year-old is from Abingdon, Virginia and has over four million subscribers on his channel.
He is known for his rants about video games and was caught up in a controversy two years ago which led to a warrant being released for his arrest.
Williams allegedly pulled a gun on a rival called Frank Hassle, who he’d been having a back and forth with for several months.
Boogie nights
Here’s what Boogie had to say about the bout on YouTube in the buildup to the event.
“I’m going into this thing with the plan to win. But if I could make it all the way through three rounds I will be happy with that.
“If I’m still standing at the end I will be very proud of myself. There are going to be some people tuning in to watch two fat guys and make fun of them.
“There’s also hopefully going to be a few people who are inspired by this.
“I want to prove to myself that I can face my fears. I’m going to do my absolute best to put Jordie on his a**.
“This is a very important first step to put everything I’ve learned in the last few weeks into action. I promise you I am going to make this fight entertaining as possible.”
Biggest bout ever
These pair of influencers yesterday weighed in at a combined 800lbs in what makes this the heaviest boxing fight of all time.
Boogie2988 – who rose to prominence with his brash and controversial playing style on Call of Duty – weighed in at 391.6lbs.
Wings of Redemption – real name – Richard Jordan – came in the slightly heavier man at 404lbs.
