YouTube and TikTok are undeniably the two most popular digital platforms. Influencers from both domains always seem to lock horns in the race to outshine from another. Recently, two influencers got into a brawl during the YouTube VS TikTok conference held in Miami, Florida.
The press conference was held on May 18, ahead of the boxing competition being marketed as a “Battle of the Platforms". This social-media star boxing boom is set to be between a group of TikTokers and YouTubers. The event was organised for fighters to have their say and meet their opponents.
Two social media stars Austin McBroom and Bryce Hall, who will be fighting in the ring on the main event on June 12, first engaged in a war of words and expressed their anger for one another. A few minutes later, the tension between the two escalated to the extent that they end up fighting, and soon there was an all-out brawl.
