iDubbbz went live yesterday to react to a three-month-old H3 Podcast segment featuring his former Creator Clash boxing coaches Michael Briggs and his wife Kate from Bonafide Boxing. The stream came the same day he posted a new YouTube video addressing ongoing criticism about his content and persona changes.
During the H3 appearance, the coach and his partner shared behind-the-scenes stories from iDubbbz’s training camp. They described how the YouTuber became emotional after a particularly intense sparring session.
The coach explained that iDubbbz broke down crying after the session. According to the coach, iDubbbz said the way he yelled instructions during sparring reminded him of his father. This led to a staff meeting where they adjusted the coaching approach.
“It’s very emotional after a hard sparring session,” Michael said on H3, noting this reaction wasn’t unusual for fighters. He emphasized that he changed his corner style after learning about iDubbbz’s discomfort.
The Mikes’s partner Kate, spent months filming a documentary about Creator Clash that was never released, laughed while sharing these stories. She also mentioned asking iDubbbz and his partner Anisa to help promote her anti-child marriage advocacy work, a request she says went unanswered.
Kate is a Hmong woman from Washington state who survived child marriage at 12 years old. Her advocacy work was part of the broader H3 conversation, though iDubbbz’s stream reaction focused solely on her comments about his training, not her survivor status or activism.
Creator Clash was the influencer boxing event iDubbbz co-organized with Anisa. He fought Dr. Mike in the first event, losing by decision. The event faced criticism and disputes over management decisions, contributing to ongoing drama in his community.
The timing of iDubbbz’s reaction is notable. The H3 segment aired three months ago, but he chose to address it now alongside his new video about being labeled a “lolcow” by drama channels.
