YouTuber Jarvis was part of the FaZe clanNow he is signed to Misfits BoxingJarvis sparred boxing legend Floyd Mayweather in Las VegasFaZe clan members brought in millions of pounds a year through eSports – but Jarvis was controversially banned from Fortnite for cheating in 2019.

He told SunSport in Doha: “Always, I think, ‘Why did I ever do this?’ “But after my first fight I kind’ve fell in love with it, that adrenaline rush, that feeling of getting hit and hitting someone. “It made me want more so I kept doing it, kept having fun and it’s something that is great for me, my health, pushing me out my comfort zone.Most read in BoxingCASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS”For sure, I could’ve just stuck to that source of revenue, but why not expand?” Jarvis is 4-1 but his most memorable experience in the ring came during his spar with 50-0 icon Mayweather.

He revealed: “I got beat up a little bit but I learned a lot and had a great job. It’s a surreal experience. “When you’re in there you don’t really think about it too much but the whole rest of the night I just had a smile on my face, I couldn’t believe what happened. “Being able to be in the ring with someone who people say is one of the best in the world,  is very rare.”Jarvis is a champion of Misfits Boxing, which homes to celebrity-style crossover bouts.

What am I eating in Qatar?”So right now, I’m thinking I wanna get to 100kg. I don’t care about this physique, I wanna get fat! “But in general, I kinda keep good, maybe 6 days a week, snacks here and there, but now I wanna go obese.

Gib responded: “Personal? No. Why would I find it personal?”I’m just fighting the guy and come to box him and fight him. There’s nothing personal about this.”Slim doesn’t have anything to do with my life outside of this fight. So it shows that I’m clearly on his mind a lot.”It’s ‘personal’? It’s just business for me, I’m coming to chin him. I’m coming to take away his record. “I’m coming to embarrass the Misfits champion. So that’s what I’m coming to do.”The former FIFA gamer has adopted the moniker “seven-figure Gibber” due to his demand in the influencer boxing scene.
