YouTube heavyweights Sam Hyde and THMPSN weigh over 500lb combined for fight

Comedian Sam Hyde and Tik Tok star THMPSN weighed in at a collective 516lb for their heavyweight clash at The O2 arena tomorrow.

Hyde tipped the scales at 261lb, while THMPSN came in at 255lb to make their heavyweight clash official on the undercard of KSI's return to the ring in London. The Brit will take on two opponents; rapper Swarmz in the evening's opener and Mexican professional boxer Luis Pineda at the main event, with Hyde and THMPSN competing third on the night.

The pair are a massive duo, although American comedian Hyde towers over his 6'2" Australian rival, whose real name is Jordan Thompson. Training at Wild Card Boxing in Los Angeles and a former violinist and athlete, Thompson seems the more athletic man, while Hyde is a scrappier fighter with more experience training.
