Sun Apr 13 01:00:00 UTC 2025: **UFC President Dana White Loses $10,000 Bet at Influencer Boxing Event**
Miami, FL – UFC President Dana White made a surprise appearance at a Brand Risk Promotions boxing event in Miami Friday night, resulting in a $10,000 loss for him. White, in town for UFC 314, served as a commentator alongside Hunter Campbell, alongside event host Adin Ross and boxing champion Teofimo Lopez.
The event featured a highly anticipated kickboxing match between streamer Oblivion and Kodiyakredd, one half of the controversial “Island Boys” duo. Despite Kodiyakredd’s claims that he would have won with more training, Oblivion swiftly defeated him via a first-round TKO, prompting a post-fight callout from Kodiyakredd’s brother.
White, who placed a $10,000 bet with Ross on Oblivion’s victory, witnessed the decisive win firsthand. Over 390,000 viewers tuned in to watch the fight.
During the broadcast, White offered his perspective on influencer boxing, stating that there will always be interest in fights featuring well-known personalities, regardless of their fighting experience. He dismissed the notion that these events disrespect serious fighters, instead pointing out the issue of influencers falsely portraying themselves as legitimate contenders. Campbell echoed this sentiment, highlighting the difference between genuine athletes and those using influencer status to participate. The event also saw playful banter between the commentators regarding Ross’s “wall of fame,” featuring Jake Paul but omitting Lopez, a regular Brand Risk commentator.
