A 41-year-old father who has become known as simply 'Dad' on his YouTube channel landed an emphatic knockout on Saturday night's Creator Clash fight card in Florida.
Nathan Barnatt faced off against Matt Watson from comedy duo 'SuperMega' and started the card off in sensational fashion. Eighteen social media stars, including iDubbbz and Harley Morenstein, took part in the boxing event at the Yuengling Center in aid of a number of charities.
Barnatt had never boxed before and landed four big shots on Watson who looked dazed as the referee stopped the fight with Watson on his feet. The pair were separated by 15 years in age and two pounds on the scales, as well as an evident chasm in boxing ability.

Barnatt dove into his training for the bout and was able to quickly take complete control of the ring early over the clearly inexperienced Watson - with the fight rightfully being ended by the referee. Watson looked unsure of himself from the word go, with Barnatt quickly taking centre of the ring and landing some big shots.
Barnatt told Mirror Fighting: " These guys Mike and Josh, my two coaches, trained me really well. I tried to tell him that I was really going hard, training non-stop every day for six months.
"I don't think he really knew and he wasn't really going as hard as me. I came and destroyed, that was the plan. I will literally fight anyone if we can make the same weight."
The fight broke a record previously set by Slim Albaher with his 43-second stoppage of N&A Productions in Dubai last year. Albaher had totally dominated his opponent at the inaugural Social Knockout event to go 2-0 as a YouTube boxer.
