To many people\u2019s surprise, the Battle of the Platforms event that saw some of the biggest names on the internet step up to fight each other, turned out to be one to remember. With crazy KO moments and controversy all thrown in, it became a huge trending topic on social media. Now fans and other creators are already looking for the next fight event to come along, and people are thinking about which unlikely influencers they would like to see step into the ring. David Dobrik made his YouTube comeback on June 15, after taking a two-month break following backlash over different Vlog Squad controversies, as well as over Jeff Wittek\u2019s excavator accident that almost killed him. While he has over 20 million subscribers on YouTube, his return was met with a mixed response, some happy to see him back, and others saying he should have stayed away from the internet for longer. Now in an interview with paparazzi, David has revealed why he doesn\u2019t want to take part in any future influencer boxing events, even if he\u2019s asked. When asked if he would consider boxing, he responded: \u201cNo, I can\u2019t box. I was thinking about it, I wish it was a different sport, I wish there was like tennis because I played tennis in high school, and if there was a YouTube vs. TikTok tennis that\u2019d be a blast.\u201d Kevin Wong asked him who he would fight if he could fight one person, and although he struggled to think of a TikToker, he did joke \u201cJeff Wittek, I\u2019ll see you in the ring.\u201d He also went on to say that he doesn\u2019t think Austin McBroom contacted him to be a part of the initial YouTubers vs. TikTokers, but explained: \u201cI don\u2019t think anybody can reach out to me and make me do it. I\u2019m such a little wimp, I\u2019ll never be in the ring. Maybe I will, who knows.\u201d While David seems pretty set on not starting a boxing career, it looks like some would like to see him in a similar event to YouTubers vs. TikTokers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>David Dobrik explains why he\u2019ll never fight in a YouTube boxing event Instagram: daviddobrikAfter the success of the YouTubers vs. TikTokers boxing event, David Dobrik has revealed that he doesn\u2019t intend on participating in future influencer fights.
