TikTok star Bryce Hall has promised to return to the boxing ring later this year.
The social media star took on Austin McBroom last summer in his debut at the inaugural Social Gloves event, and was dropped multiple times on the way to a third-round stoppage.
Hall had talked a big game in the build-up to the bout, but infamously declared after he had been defeated that he "was not a fighter" and that he had "never claimed to be a fighter".
But he has confirmed that he will return to the ring this year in an effort to earn his first win, teasing match-ups with YouTuber Deji Olatunji and rappers Kodiyakredd and Flyysoulja, also known as the Island Boys.
"We are only taking Ws in 2022," Hall declared in an Instagram story. "That means a boxing match is coming."
He then took to Twitter to tease some possible opponents, even offering to take on both of the Island Boys in one night if a commission would sanction it.
"This year I'm stepping back in ring, only W’s this year," he tweeted before responding "we'll see what happens" and "it'll happen" to fans who asked him to face Olatunji.
He then mocked the Island Boys, joking about their recent appearance on Logan Paul's podcast Impaulsive where they walked out after an argument with co-host George Janko.
"Someone tell the island boys I'll take em both at the same time in a boxing match!" Hall posted. "They thuggin'."
When it was suggested that he could face both men one after the other on a 'Rough 'n' Rowdy' show promoted by Barstool Sports, Hall responded "I'd be down for that too if regulation approves."
The next YouTube boxing card is expected to take place on March 5 when Showstar Boxing pit the biggest stars of UK social media against the top ones from the US.

It is expected that Olatunji will fight on the card, with Alex Wassabi a rumoured opponent, while former Jake Paul opponent AnEsonGib is also set to return to the ring on the event.
Gib has publicly called out McBroom, and could also face Paul's sparring partner Anthony Taylor in an effort to reignite his feud with the American social media star.
Whether or not Hall will appear on the Showstar card remains to be seen, with other options likely to emerge as the year progresses.
McBroom has insisted that Social Gloves will return to the sport this year, while Dubai-based TK Fight Night, who have staged the two Social Knockout events in the Middle East, will also be staging another event within the coming months.
Hall trained in part for his fight with McBroom at Canelo Alvarez's gym in San Diego alongside close friend and fellow TikTok star Tayler Holder, although both men ended up losing their respective matches at the Social Gloves event.
