YouTube star AnEsonGib completed a 55lb weight loss transformation as he weighed in at 176lb ahead of his fight with Austin McBroom tonight in Los Angeles, California.
The social media star claimed that he was "obese" after ballooning up to 231lb during lockdown, which was enforced just weeks after his embarrassing first round defeat to Jake Paul. 'Gib' was believed to be a challenge for Paul after winning his two white collar boxing bouts on the undercard of KSI's fights with Joe Weller and Logan Paul, but was comfortably beaten in his professional debut.
He had already lost a considerable amount of weight to get in shape for his newfound boxing career, but had needed to bulk up for the Paul fight, force-feeding himself to make an unnatural cruiserweight limit with his 5'9" frame. And after suffering a quickfire loss after months of training and being forced into lockdown, Gib allowed himself to pile on a further 40lb to hit a lifetime high weight.
