What you need to know about GETTR’s upcomming Fight Night
Growing conservative social media platform, GETTR, is sponsoring a boxing event (along with intuboxing) on Saturday which will stream live on the DAZN streaming service. Here’s everything you need to know to enjoy GETTR Fight Night:
The event features rapper and boxer KSI in two headline fights
KSI will take on fellow rapper, Swarmz before fighting pro-boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda (if he hasn’t been too injured).
Though KSI is more famously a rap artist, he began his boxing career in 2018 before famously taking on YouTube celebrity Logan Paul who he defeated in 2019.
Swarmz is a British rap artist and former semi-pro “football” player (soccer) for the National League south. Swarmz is filling in for YouTube sensation Alex Wassabi who had to pull out of the fight due to injuries.
Luis Alcaraz Pineda is a pro-boxer who debuted in 2017 and is looking for a comeback after his last match resulted in defeat.
GETTR is a primary sponsor of the event
GETTR is a social media platform designed for short-form commentary in both text and visual format and long-form live streaming content. It’s as if Twitter, TikTok and YouTube Live were combined into one app but this time freedom of speech and expression is encouraged. Popular conservative commentators like Emerald Robinson, Diamond and Silk, Tim Young and Steve Bannon all have live programming on GETTR.
GETTR is the brainchild of Jason Miller who invented the platform with a team of engineers and innovators after mainstream platforms (like those listed above) started censoring speech including banning the – at the time -sitting president of the United States, Donald Trump.
Despite liberal big tech’s best efforts, GETTR has amassed 6 million users and its brand new live streaming feature has already gotten 200 million views despite launching only 10 months ago.
Miller and members of his team will be live covering the event for GETTR branding it as GETTR Fight Night.
