Austin McBroom vs AnEsonGib fight date, UK start time, undercard and stream

Austin McBroom and AnEsonGib have both now been cleared to fight after an issue with the Brit's licence was resolved.

The pair had to cancel their July 30 fight date in order to allow for Gib to undergo further scans to be cleared for competition by the California State Athletic Commission; one of the sternest in commissions in the world. Gib and McBroom will now finally compete after an undercard full of celebrity fights which will carry over from the original event. The pair have been going back-and-forth on social media, and there appears to be legitimate bad blood between the two.

Elsewhere on the card, it is expected that the entire undercard will stay together, including the likes of Adam Saleh vs Landon McBroom and Adrian Peterson vs LeVeon Bell. Rapper Blueface will face Nick Young after his fight on the KSI vs Swarmz undercard was scrapped.

Here's all you need to know about Social Gloves 2 and the next big YouTuber fight card...

When is Austin McBroom vs AnEsonGib?

Austin McBroom and AnEsonGib will take to the ring on September 10 in a professional bout sanctioned by the California State Athletic Commission. McBroom won his debut against Bryce Hall last summer, while Gib has now fought four times between white collar, professional and exhibition bouts.

This fight will be McBroom's first professional outing, while Gib is 0-1 in the fully paid ranks. He was stopped within a round by Jake Paul in 2020 after winning his first two white collar bouts in 2018, before getting back to winning ways against Tayler Holder last summer.

What time will Austin McBroom vs AnEsonGib start in the UK?

The event will likely begin at 11pm in the UK with the main event ring walks significantly later due to the size of the fight card. It is expected that there will be six main card fights, with a prelim fight or two as well, meaning around eight bouts. Rules will be made clear at a later date..

Expect to see the main event ring walks at around 3am in the UK, depending on how the undercard goes. There are a few beginners taking on people with reasonable levels of experience, so expect to see a few finishes on the night.

How to watch via TV and live stream

Social Gloves 2 will be shown exclusively on its own pay-per-view service. The fight can be purchased here for a price of $40, or around £33, that includes the live event which can be streamed to your TV, laptop or phone.

It's a lot more expensive than KSI's upcoming fight with Swarmz, which will cost £11.99 for existing subscribers and £19.98 for new subscribers, who will also receive a one-month DAZN subscription as part of their purchase. These hefty prices have proven controversial with fans.

Social Gloves 2 fight card

Main Event: Austin McBroom vs AnEsonGib

McBroom promoted Gib's last fight when the pair shared the card for the debut of Social Gloves. Fans were initially impressed with the event's production, but it descended into poor reception when Gib's win over Tayler Holder was announced as a draw, and it would later emerge that certain fighters weren't paid. Gib has vowed to avenge those fighters by beating McBroom.

LeVeon Bell vs Adrian Peterson

Legendary NFL star Peterson is a heavy underdog going into his boxing debut against fellow running back Bell. The 30-year-old appears to want to launch a boxing career and leave football behind, so this fight could end up being very interesting.

Nick Young vs Blueface

A legal issue forced Blueface to be removed from the KSI vs Swarmz card in London last month but he will instead take to the ring on Saturday night. Young, the former LA Laker, finished his career in the NBA in 2019 after making four appearances for the Denver Nuggets.

Landon McBroom vs Adam Saleh

There's an air of excitement with fans of YouTube boxing around this prospective match-up. McBroom destroyed Ben Azelart in his last outing, while Saleh has an amateur background and has fought on a number of occasions in the influencer space in the UK and Dubai.

Cory Wharton vs Chase DeMoor

Reality TV stars Wharton and DeMoor have a massive size difference, but their battle will still be very intriguing. Fans are, however, favouring the much bigger DeMoore, who was recently invited to be drafted for the XFL American Football league.

Quotes corner

Austin McBroom: "It is official, Gib has finally passed his medical exams and he is cleared to fight his worst nightmare, which is me. So I ain't going to lie, obviously I'm excited but I'm p***ed off at the same time because Gib, you've been wasting my damn time and energy.

"You've been wasting my team's damn time and energy, you wasted the other fighters' time and energy and you've also lost us money. For that, I'm going to beat your a** even more than I was going to, I'm going to disrespect you even more than I was going to, I'm going to embarrass you even more than I was going to.

"Maybe all this s*** happens for a reason, I don't know. But I do want to know the real reason why you didn't pass your medical exam two weeks ago? Why'd you take all this time to finally pass? To me it sounds like there's only one reason why.

AnEsonGib: "The California State Commission, one of the strictest boxing commissions, has approved me with a licence. McBroom was nearly begging for the fight to be canceled using words like 'injury' praying that I wouldn’t be approved. Nowhere to run now p****.

"Still can’t believe for two weeks my opponent was running around telling the internet I have a 'serious head injury'… Do you know how wild that is for an opponent/promotion company to do? The guy clearly didn’t want the fight!"
