BRITISH YouTuber AnEsonGib climbed off the canvas in the first round to knockout Austin McBroom in brutal fashion.
The 26-year-old dropped his American rival FIVE times during their bout in Los Angeles, with fans describing it as the 'best YouTuber fight' of all time.
Gib, who was stopped by Jake Paul on his professional debut in January 2020, stole the show Stateside as he recovered from an early setback.
McBroom, whose Social Gloves company was promoting the event, landed a massive right hand early on to send the Saudi Arabian-born content creator to the floor.
But from the third round onwards it was all Gib as he dropped the 30-year-old twice.
McBroom then hit the deck three times the following round with a straight right from Gib leaving the California native sprawled across the canvas.

"Without him I wouldn't have my redemption story so all respect to him.
