Blueface has been out of the ring for the best part of three years, and he’s getting himself warmed up this month before his big May headliner.
The rapper made headlines earlier this year when it was confirmed that he would take on former NBA champion Nick ‘Swaggy P’ Young on May 2 in Miami. He has bulked up considerably during his time away from fighting, which included a seven-month stint in jail.
What’s the craziest thing you’ve seen happen in a boxing ring?
Now, he returns and has been granted a tune-up fight on Adin Ross’ streaming fight league Brand Risk Promotions. He will take on fellow rapper Rooga in the main event, with the co-main featuring Supa Hot Fire against the wildly controversial Paul Miller, known to fans as ‘Gypsy Crusader’
Blueface and Gypsy Crusader share the card for Adin Ross’ Brand Risk Promotions
Back in January, Adin Ross delivered an outlandish heavyweight showdown between adult film stars Adam22 and Jason Luv, which ended in a 74-second knockout for the latter. Their feud was based on Adam’s wife having filmed a scene with Luv, with his embarrassment being compounded in the ring.
Ross will again push the boundaries of taste and decency when he puts former Muay-Thai fighter and social media personality Miller in for a fight with the YouTube comedian Supah Hot Fire. That fight was the second announced for their March 14 event, which takes place at the streamer’s Miami compound.
The main event will feature a battle between rappers Blueface and Rooga. The former is an experienced boxer who has won his two previous fights against Ed Matthews and Kane Trujillo, the former by knockout.
He has even shared the ring with Floyd Mayweather for a sparring session that went viral on social media when the boxing icon mocked his then girlfriend Chrisean Rock mid-workout.
There will be further bouts added to the event, which will stream live on Ross’ Kick channel. His previous show featured the likes of Anderson Silva’s son Gabriel Silva who lost to Anthony ‘AP The Fighter’ Proctor as well as representatives of Shannon Briggs, Rampage Jackson and Teofimo Lopez.
