YouTube star AnEsonGib to rematch Austin McBroom in winner-take-all tournament after American says he fought with Covid
YOUTUBER Austin McBroom is set to rematch AnEsonGib after claiming he fought him while suffering Covid.
The pair are both in KingPyn’s eight-man winner-take-all tournament and drew each other in the quarter-final stage.
It gives McBroom the chance to avenge his defeat in September when the two rematch at Wembley Arena on April 22.
The American sparked controversy when he made a video to say he tested positive for coronavirus after being hospitalised following defeat.
McBroom also revealed he fought just moments after using an IV – which is banned by any boxing commission – to combat his illness.
Gib – who was floored in the first round – would go onto win by knockout in the fourth after scoring FIVE knockdowns.
The rivals traded words when they faced off once again in the tournament draw.
Gib, 26, said: “This makes sense, he made his complaints, it’s time to prove yourself but it’s going the exact same route.
“I’ve got better IQ, you’re getting smoked, and it’s repeat. You haven’t got no easy fight coming in, you’re facing me and you’re getting smoked.”
McBroom, 30, said: “All I’ve got to say is, you won’t get lucky again because I won’t be sick. I wish you the best of luck.”

Gib hit back: “I hurt you with every shot. Right hook, straight, body shots, I hurt you with every, bro.
“You were suffering, you were suffering. Everybody was screaming for you, ‘What’s happening to him.’ You was suffering.”
