Ccontroversial internet brothers ‘The Island Boys’ will fight each other in the main event of this month’s Brand Risk Promotions event in Miami.
The brothers are two of the most hated characters on social media, far exceeding the infamy of the likes of Jake Paul, KSI and other YouTuber boxers. One half of the duo, Kodiyakredd, was stopped in his fighting debut last month in a bout that earned Dana White $10,000.
Now, it appears that the inseparable duo are going to fight each other in the main event of a card that also features Anderson Silva’s on Gabriel. Adin Ross is promoting the show from his Miami warehouse with a star-studded list of celebrities expected to attend to watch the invite-only event.

Island Boys to fight each other in brother vs brother clash
On May 16, the Island Boys Kodiyakredd and Flyysoulja will put their family ties to the side and compete in a boxing fight under the Brand Risk Promotions banner. The controversial siblings’ relationship is impossible to comprehend, given their outlandish history on the internet since reaching fame in 2021.
Adin Ross is putting on the show, announcing the fight as the headliner for his latest event in Miami in two weeks’ time. It will be broadcast for free on Ross’ Kick streaming channel where hundreds of thousands are expected to tune in.
Speaking on his stream announcing the card, Ross noted that one of the brothers was due to fight Charleston White. However, the Tik Tok sensation was unavailable and as a result the pair have stepped up to fight each other.
“Charleston White cannot fight the Island Boy,” Ross explained to his viewers. “He’s going to come on stream and talk about it.
“So we got the Island Boys are going to fight each other and I don’t know how that’s going to go. Supposedly they have some s— going on so I don’t know what the f— that’s going to be.”
He also confirmed that Adam Saleh, who was once due to fight Patrice Evra, takes on Tik Tokker Pully Arif. And Gabriel Silva, whose dad is the legendary Anderson Silva, will rematch OJ Rose from their 2023 Misfits Boxing bout.
Dana White won $10,000 betting against Island Boy Kodiyakredd in fighting debut
Dana White was in attendance for last month’s Brand Risk Promotions event in Miami after being invited by Ross. He was live on commentary throughout the night, at which point he bet Ross that streamer ‘Oblivion’ would beat Kodiyakredd of the Island Boys.
Turns out he was correct; from the opening bell, Oblivion’s clear boxing training was evident and White immediately offered to bet Ross that he would be winning. The pair agreed to a $10,000 wager, which quickly seemed a silly choice from the streamer.
Within a minute, Oblivion had scored a standing eight as the very conservative ISKA referee looked to keep either man from taking serious damage. And after watching Kodiyakredd take yet another clean combination that included a flush uppercut the fight was stopped with seconds left in the round.
The ‘Island Boy’ insisted that he would have won with more training, before his brother got in the cage and called out his opponent.
