YouTube star Ryan Taylor was "infuriated" after his second effort at boxing was cancelled weeks out from the fight, claiming his rival Slim Albaher lied about having a detached retina.
Taylor was due to face Albaher, an influencer from New York, in London earlier this month, but the bout was cancelled after the American was left with a detached retina during a brawl between the two. They had just participated in a pre-fight launch press conference when they ran into one another at a hotel, and continued their verbal altercation.
And without security around the incident got physical, with Albaher releasing footage that showed Taylor punching his rival as his coach; Bellator fighter Kane Mousah, held him back. The American's footage was viewed hundreds of thousands of times, while Taylor generally remained quiet about the issue, aside from a few jabs on Instagram.
