YouTube star Matt Watson has blamed over-training ahead of his boxing debut for his 22 second loss to 41-year-old Nathan 'Dad' Barnatt.
The social media star is one half of comedy duo Super Mega, and had worked with a boxing coach for months heading into the fight against his rival, who goes by the nickname 'Dad'. But it took a record-breaking time of less than half-a-minute for the 26-year-old to be stopped in his first fight.
And in his first podcast since the fight, Watson explained that he suffered a lower back injury during training that left him with shooting pains, which he expects to get a diagnosis for in the coming days. He argues that the injury may have played a part in his poor showing, although he insists that he will fight again.
