    Who is YouTuber True Geordie?

    TRUE GEORDIE is a YouTuber who burst onto the scene by speaking his mind – but his controversial opinions have seen him shunned.He was in line to be on the panel for KSI’s highly anticipated second fight against Logan Paul… until he got into a row with the Paul brothers and was snubbed.

    And he got into a huge spat with Tyson Fury during an interview, which prompted the Gipsy King to blow up into a rage with the YouTuber.
    Who is the True Geordie and what does he do?
    True Geordie – real name Brian Davis – became well-known after his first video went viral.
    The clip, ‘A True Geordie’s view on Nile Ranger’ was followed by further passionate rants concerning his local football team, Newcastle United.
    True Geordie has also uploaded Premier League previews and reviews of the weekend’s action, as well as analysis and panel shows covering a wide range of sports, including Boxing.
    He has built up a following of 1.99 million subscribers and garnered over 248m views.
    What happened during True Geordie’s argument with Tyson Fury?
    True Geordie conducted an interview with the Gipsy King in October 2022.
    He suggested that boxing fans did not care about seeing Fury fight Derek Chisora – when he had originally been lined up to face Anthony Joshua.
    Fury roared: “I think you’re a t****r. You little t***pot.
    “And I won’t be doing any more interviews with you little t***pot, bearded, bald-headed t***er.
    “Kiss my b**ls, you little w**ker. You little s***house.”
    Why was there controversy over him commentating on KSI vs Logan Paul?
    True Geordie was accused by Logan Paul of being biased in his the pre-fight press conference for the 2019 bout, and a hater, after a series of tweets and videos which insulted him.
    A True Geordie video which critiqued Logan Paul’s involvement in the filming of a Japanese suicide, something Paul later apologised for, is one of his most viewed videos, at 3.2million views.

    Meanwhile, True Geordie has been known to tweet insults directed at the Paul brothers, tweeting after KSI’s first fight: “If people thought that commentary was bias then wait until @KSIOlajidebt fights one of the Paul bros. I hope he f***ing wrecks the c****.”
    In revenge, Paul initially refused to allow True Geordie to commentate on the first fight, but an online petition in protest which has since gained over 17,000 signatures helped Davis get the gig.
    With this fight going professional, with Matchroom Boxing promoting the event, and Sky Sports and DAZN paying for rights, the True Geordie was turned down for the role of commentating.
    Instead, YouTube stars Aneson Gib and Joe Weller – both previously spending time in the ring – comnmentated on the rematch from the Staples Center in Los Angeles. More

    Who is Mark Goldbridge and what’s his real name?

    MARK GOLDBRIDGE is a YouTuber best known from the fan channel The United Stand – but it turns out that is not his real name and it is just an alias he created for himself.Here’s everything we know about the YouTube star and talkSPORT presenter.

    Who is Mark Goldbridge?
    Mark Goldbridge is a YouTuber best known for the Manchester United fan channel ‘The United Stand’. He also has a separate channel called ‘Mark Goldbridge That’s Football’.
    Goldbridge launched The United Stand in 2014 under the name Soccer Box TV, before later changing it to focus on Manchester United.
    The Manchester United fan rose to YouTube fame providing content based on his club’s results and news, as well as live commentary and reaction to games.
    READ MORE ON THE SIDEMEN
    Often angry and upset at United’s results, viewers have been treated over the years to some memorable outbursts, catapulting the YouTuber to ever increasing heights of social prominence.
    His incredible success on social media platforms led to current employer talkSPORT seizing an opportunity to gain listeners, subsequently offering him a role as a radio presenter.
    What is Mark Goldbridge’s real name?
    Born in 1979, the 43 year old’s real name is Brent Di Cesare. He used to work as a police officer investigating financial fraud. He created the alias Mark Goldbridge when he began his YouTube career.
    After being asked the inspiration behind the new name, with podcasts hosts at first thinking this was another alias, he explained that it was in fact his real name, and of Italian heritage.
    Quizzed on why he created his alias, Goldbridge told the podcast it was down to his job at the time not allowing him to use his real name.
    “When I started on YouTube my job would not have allowed me to use my real name,” he said. This makes sense as Goldbridge was formerly a police officer, holding the position when starting out on YouTube, the alias providing him protection and privacy when carrying out his police duties.
    He said: “If you search the name Goldbridge I don’t think there’s anyone in the world with that name.”
