YouTuber Banzz (34), who stepped into the ring for a mixed martial arts match against comedian Yoon Hyung-bin (45), wagering his YouTube channel with 2 million subscribers, has officially announced his decision to delete the channel.
In the special match of Goobne ROAD FC 073 held on the 28th, Banzz faced a swift defeat after being knocked down by a powerful punch from Yoon Hyung-bin in the early stages of the fight.
Previously, at a press conference in February, Banzz had shared the schedule for his match against Yoon Hyung-bin, stating, "Yoon Hyung-bin suggested we put our YouTube channels on the line. I was a bit shaken, but I wanted to show how serious I am about mixed martial arts, so I accepted the challenge."
Banzz, who was a judo athlete during his middle school years, claimed his first victory in the YouTube content 'Fighter 100' last November. Leading up to the match with Yoon Hyung-bin, Banzz underwent surgery to insert a metal pin in his left hand due to an injury.
The day after the match, on the 29th, Banzz posted on his YouTube community, "Hello, this is Banzz. I will keep my promise. I will upload the last video tomorrow."
Since 2013, Banzz has been beloved by the public for his YouTube mukbang content, producing over 3,000 video contents over nearly a decade.
