British YouTuber Gib had to climb off the canvas in the first round to beat his American rival
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.
Dad-of-three McBroom was subsequently taken to hospital as a precaution where he will be checked out by a doctor.
Speaking after the contest, a jubilant Gib said: “I flew all the way to England, all the way to America to KO the CEO.
“That’s what I came to do; all respect to Austin McBroom; I respect him for inviting him to the first Social Gloves, and this Social Gloves.
“Without him I wouldn’t have my redemption story so all respect to him.
“I’ve got my revenge, I’ve got my redemption; I’ve been working so hard in the gym, I’m going to keep going and I’m looking forward to my next fight. Right now, whatever makes money, make sense.
“We’ll see what opponent comes my way and we’ll see what the future holds.”
Social media was sent into meltdown over the fight, with KSI offering his congratulations, before hinting at a possible match-up.
He tweeted: “Congrats fam.”
Before adding: “If Gib wants to play with me though, I’m also down.”
Gib’s ex-rival Jake Paul posted: “WOW. INSANE. You can’t play boxing. Congrats to GIB.”
Fans were also left in awe by the bout, as one said: “Best YouTuber fight I’ve ever seen.”
Another commented: “THIS THE BEST YOUTUBER FIGHT I EVER SEEN LMAOOOOOOOOOO.”
A third added: “Probably the best YouTuber fight on the worst boxing event of all time.”
Meanwhile this user simply stated: “BEST YOUTUBER FIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
