Influencer Bryce Hall is making a startling move to bare-knuckle fighting when he takes on Gee Perez at BKFC 48. The TikTok star with 23 million subscribers has limited experience in combat sports owing to his appearance in YouTubers vs TikTokers boxing card from 2021. His opponent, Gee Perez, is undefeated in the BKFC with a record of 3-0.
Hall is coming into the fight as the heavier fighter, weighing 195 lbs on good days, while his opponent is coming in about 125 lbs. The fight will be at catchweight, meaning both have to weigh in at 165 lbs. This entails Perez having to put on a whopping 40 lbs for the said fight. This might balance the scales in terms of the risk for Hall, who had to drop 30 lbs.
