YouTube star Mike Varshavski, better known by Dr Mike, has confirmed that he paid his entire purse for his boxing debut to Ukraine Crisis Relief.
The social media sensation is a New York-based primary care physician, who is also known for his YouTube channel where he reacts to memes and shares medical advice. He had been training to box for fitness purposes over the past decade, before popular creator Ian 'IDubbbz' Carter made it clear that he wanted an opponent for his own debut.
Varshavski stepped up, and the pair along with a card of other social media stars raised over $1.3million for selected charities with a night of exhibition fighting. He picked up the victory over IDubbbz by dominating the five round contest and taking a lopsided unanimous decision.
