Diplo Is Boxing in an Upcoming Triller Fight Club Event – EDM.com

Over the past couple of months, millions have tuned in to watch less-than-traditional boxing matches hosted by Triller. While we’ve seen quite a few notable and surprising figures enter the ring, things are about to get even stranger as Diplo has been revealed as the platform’s newest fighter.

In a report by Rolling Stone, Ryan Kavanaugh, Triller’s majority owner, stated that after performing at this weekend’s Jake Paul vs. Ben Askren fight, Diplo will pubically challenge his potential opponent on stage.

When speaking with RS, Peter Kahn, the Chief Boxing Officer at Triller, shared some details on the type of opponent he would be fighting and revealed that Diplo has been training for years.

He wants to fight. He has a worldwide fan base. It’s massive. It spans 100-plus countries, at least. And he wants to fight. I won’t do anything that’s not competitive, but competitive is a relative term. I’m not looking for someone that’s going to come in and overpower him, but I’m also not looking for someone that’s going to come in and underwhelm. I have to assess his skillset.
