5 Youtubers who became Boxers and are earning in Millions

YouTubers have been coming out with various ways to monetize their life ever since the video-sharing platform came into existence. Earlier they used to do pranks, daily vlogs and other such activities that brought in a lot of views. To increase the views further, diss tracks and other fake fights were formed that would generate intrigue about these YouTubers’ lives.

In 2018 however, all changed when two boxers KSI and Joe Weller from the UK organised a boxing match between the two and thus began the crazy world of YouTube boxing.

Let’s look at the top five YouTubers who became boxers and are earning in millions.
