YouTube star Sam Hyde is plotting to make his boxing debut this summer after signing with Happy Punch Promotions.
The American comedian was deemed too big of a "business risk" to appear on next month's Creator Clash event, despite being called out for a fight by fellow social media sensation Harley Morenstein. Hyde is one of the most divisive figures on YouTube, and is known for his unique brand of comedy that pushes the sensibilities of most viewers.
But that hasn't stopped Happy Punch from adding him to their roster, with plans in place for him to step in the ring within the next few months. The Rhode Island native has been training with Morenstein in preparation for his fight with Arin Joseph Hanson, known on YouTube as Egoraptor, having begun taking part in the sport with friends a few years ago.
