First Of Its Kind OnlyFans Boxing Event A Knockout Success

Late last month, in the scorching hot Southern California desert, plenty of well-known OnlyFans creators laced up their gloves in preparation for their highly-anticipated boxing debut. Australian Rebecca McLeod, Floridian Brittney LeFevre were the headliners in the event that brought hundreds of creators, millions of followers and plenty of attention to OnlyFans, the (mostly) adult content site making waves for its ability to earn regular people thousands of dollars.

The three day event ran from June 21st to June 24th, featuring more brawls than you can count, with the main event between McLeod and LeFevre happening the night of June 24th. While McLeod and LeFevre don’t have much fighting experience, there were other fights taking place between creators who had seen some serious ring time. Boxer Kristina Santa faced off against Mixed Martial Artist Abby Montes, while Amber Fields, a boxing commentator and creator, was featured as one of the commentators. Additional fighters included Vana Medrano, Danelle Fishback and Silvia Figueroa, three professional boxers. Over 20 professional, amateur and non-trained fighters took to the ring.

Even the social media influencers / creators not competing got a sweet deal, too. An all-expenses paid stay at sixteen different luxury villas (the same location the fighters were staying). Not just anyone with a ring light and a phone can show up though, the event listed a $100,000 a month revenue or 1,000,000+ followers as the requirement for any influencer or creator looking to get in on the action. As with most events involving influencers, known for their reality TV-style explosive personalities, the entire event was filmed from day one. Having the fight on the final night allowed each fighter to train in the days leading up and spread a good amount of trash talk in anticipation of the big showdown. There was some serious money on the line, too, with the winner taking home $100,000. Creator Britney LeFevre, known online as Britfit said, “This isn’t my first rodeo- I haven’t fought yet but I’ve definitely trained. They’re going to see a different beast unleashed.”

The sports media have taken notice too that, unlike some less-than-serious celebrity/influencer sporting events of the past (see Major League Baseball’s Celebrity All-Star Game), these OnlyFans creators were here to fight. For real.
As for McLeod, she took an approach that included more training videos and less media availability, clearly in an attempt to prove she was the more prepared.

And it worked, she won.

McLeod was crowned the first Knockout Queen in the first-ever exciting matchup, winning in four hard-fought rounds.

While public reaction to the event was mixed (namely boxing bros lighting up social media with comments like “Stick to OF, that entire event was such a joke”) there’s no doubt the Knockout Queen event brought even more eyes to OnlyFans, a platform already valued at more than US $8 billion.

The haters can say what they want, but this event was one of the most successful in bringing more attention to OnlyFans in recent memory. The fact that there were legitimate fighters in the arena means creators are serious about bringing attention to their work on the platform. OnlyFans isn’t just adult content, it has everything from climate science to comedy, and through OnlyFans, creators have made millions of dollars.

While Rebecca McLeod took home the crown, one can argue that everyone who took part in the Knockout Queen Event in the California Desert was a winner. This event proved that people are starting to discuss OnlyFans on a broader scale and it’s easy to see why. As content creation becomes a more central part of everyday life, expect platforms like OnlyFans to continue to grow and be talked about.
