American YouTuber Boogie2988 has boxing shorts taped to him

Boogie2988 lost by stoppage to WingsofRedemption on the latest Misfits Boxing card and needed some extreme measures.

YouTuber Boogie2988 had to have his boxing shorts taped up as he took on WingsofRedemption during Misfits boxing's most recent event.

KSI hosted his latest night of boxing, taking on American Joe Fournier at Wembley Arena in the main event on Saturday night, looking to extend his unbeaten record.

The YouTuber's cards rarely go off quietly and even in the build up women's star Astrid Wett was causing some ridiculous scenes at the press conference, kicking off a brawl.

And of course, the drama was never likely to stop outside of the ring either, especially when it came to Americans Boogie2988 and WingsofRedemption.

On Friday, the two big men had weighed in at a combined mammoth 57 stone with WingsOfRedemption weighed in at 404.3 Ibs whilst Boogie2988 was 391.6 Ibs, making it boxing's heaviest fight.

The fight was never likely to be a fast moving one with the two men involved having to carry quite the weight around the ring just to get to each other.

Their health meant they were only competing over three one minute rounds but they still managed to pack a lot of action into the short bout.

Boogie, real name Steven Jay Williams, took a standing eight count in the first round and then was given an extended break to tape up his shorts, which kept falling down.

Wings, real name Jordie McCraty Jordan, was all over his opponent and was clearly the fighter who'd done the most training in the build up.

He dominated the end of the round, which Boogie was able to hold until the end of without actually landing any punches of his own.

The fight made it into the second round but it would go not further than that, with Wings able to get the finish after another 'flurry' of unanswered punches led to the referee stepping in.

Here's the thing, and I don't care if I sound like a killjoy here, clearly these two guys are not fit enough to be involved on a 'professional' boxing card.

Celebrity boxing has its place and the likes of KSI and Jake Paul have obviously brought eyes to the sport but this fight served no purpose whatsoever.

The best that anyone would get out of this is some sort of intrigue or for a disgusting joke. Boxing is a sport when you can get seriously hurt, let's stop this nonsense before someone is.
