The Misfits Boxing 13 event delivered more than it promised! Besides being swatted because of fake bomb threats, controversial YouTube prankster Vitaly got into a verbal confrontation with equally controversial Kick streamer Neon backstage. If that wasn’t enough, professional boxer Hasim Rahman Jr. confronted the prankster for his profanity-filled attacks at Neon.

The feud between Neon and Vitaly began in January this year when the former hosted a fight between Vitaly and bare-knuckle boxer Bryce Hall. On their way to the venue, the streamers got into an argument, and Vitaly poured water on Neon breaking his phone. However, after defeating MoDeen today in Misfits Boxing 13, Vitaly decided to confront Neon, which resulted in the whole thing unfolding. The incident was picked up by Happy Punch and shared on social media.

Vitaly claims Neon is fake

Turning to X, Happy Punch shared the clip in question, captioning it, “Vitaly and Hasim Rahman Jr got into it after he tried to attack N3on.” While trying to get hold of Neon, the YouTube prankster said, “Yo, fake motherf**ker. You said congratulations to me, and you lost. Your bi**h lost, so you are mad.”

As Neon was safely escorted to a different location by the security present at Worldwide Stages in Nashville, Tennessee, Rahman Jr. quickly appeared on the scene. Trying to intimidate Vitaly, Rahman Jr walked up to the prankster. So, Vitaly didn’t hold back his profanity for Rahman either.

He said, “Who the f**k are you? F**k you. I am doing what the f**k I want. Shut the f**k up. I am here.” However, this was not the only time Vitaly got mixed up in controversy during the event. 

YouTube prankster refuses drug test

The popular YouTuber went toe-to-toe with Mo Deen during the Misfits Boxing 13 event in the preliminary round. The 1-0-1 boxer defeated Deen via first-round knockout in their three-round fight. After his win, an anti-drug official approached Vitaly backstage for testing, but the YouTube star outright refused the test, raising eyebrows in the community. 

“What if I say no to the test? Not like I am scared. Am I disqualified,” asked Vitaly. After being informed that the test is mandatory for every fighter, the YouTuber said, “I don’t give a f**k. Who are they? That’s it, I am done. I am not talking to you.” However, this still wasn’t the end of the drama. When informed about the consequences, Vitaly tried to antagonize the official. 

Despite winning his fight, Vitaly seems to be spiraling down the rabbit hole of wrong decisions. However, his interactions with people during the Misfits Boxing 13 event made for an entertaining affair for the fans. What did you think about the clip?
