Forty-one-year-old YouTuber 'Dad' lands record-breaking 22-second KO in boxing debut

YouTube star Nathan Barnatt, better known by his alias 'Dad', landed a stunning 22-second finish to open last night's Creator Clash fight card in Florida.

Eighteen social media stars, including iDubbbz and Harley Morenstein, swapped their video cameras for boxing gloves at the Yuengling Center in aid of a number of charities. And when Barnatt squared off with Matt Watson of comedy duo 'SuperMega', he got the card off to an unforgettable start with a vicious first-round stoppage.
