Creator Clash 3, the third installment of the influencer charity boxing event, has been officially delayed to an unspecified date “far into the future” according to a recent announcement. The news comes after weeks of speculation about the event’s stability amid organizational turmoil.
Creator Clash began in 2022 as a novel charity boxing event where online personalities squared off in the ring to raise money for good causes. The inaugural event was largely considered successful, drawing substantial viewership and raising significant funds for charity.
The postponement follows a significant shakeup in leadership. Co-founders Ian “iDubbbz” Carter and Anisa Jomha stepped away from their roles shortly before the delay was announced. This management transition confused many fighters and ticket holders about the event’s future.
However, Creator Clash 2 in 2023 reportedly ended with a $250,000 deficit. Critics pointed to lavish spending on parties and expenses for high-profile influencers, with less money making it to the intended charities than expected.
The third event was already facing an uphill battle before the delay. Ticket sales were reportedly weak, with many seats remaining unsold. Several key fighters had also dropped out in the weeks leading up to the postponement, some citing concerns over how the event was being managed.
Many participants discovered the delay through social media rather than direct communication from organizers. This lack of transparency extended to ticket holders, many of whom expressed confusion about refund policies while noticing tickets were still being sold after the postponement announcement.
Refunds for Creator Clash 3 are currently UNAVAILABLE (according to their subreddit)

For the fighters involved, like Will, the delay is especially tough. Many spent months training for the event, investing time and money into preparation. Boxing requires specific conditioning that can’t be maintained forever, so a long postponement is pretty much a cancellation for many participants.
The latest version had also changed its financial structure, separating ticket revenue from charity donations—a move that had fans side-eyeing things, especially after people were already skeptical because of the previous event’s financial issues.
