Blueface stepped back into the boxing ring this weekend, expecting to rebuild momentum. Instead, the Los Angeles rapper left Miami with a surprising loss that quickly sparked conversation across hip-hop and combat sports.
Blueface fought Saturday night during the “Brand Risk” influencer boxing event organized by streamer and promoter Adin Ross in Miami. The fight marked Blueface’s first appearance since his 2023 knockout victory over Ed Matthews.
That earlier win created buzz around his crossover boxing career. Many fans expected another straightforward performance ahead of a larger fight already scheduled for May.
However, his opponent, influencer fighter Chibu, disrupted that narrative.
Blueface entered the bout after a three-year gap from active competition. Observers also noticed a physical change. The rapper appeared heavier than during previous fights.
Earlier in his boxing run, Blueface competed around the middleweight range near 157 pounds. Time away from the sport and legal troubles altered his conditioning and ring movement.
Still, the opening round showed flashes of discipline. Blueface used his reach to control distance and land clean jabs. His footwork looked measured while Chibu searched for timing.
Over the years, fans have pointed to Blueface’s sparring sessions with elite fighters like Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Olympic medalist Keyshawn Davis as proof that the rapper takes boxing seriously.

The fight shifted dramatically in the second round. Chibu applied steady pressure and targeted Blueface’s body with heavy shots. The momentum pushed the rapper back toward the ropes.
During one exchange, Blueface toppled through the ropes and fell outside the ring, stunning the crowd. Officials ruled the moment part of the action rather than a knockdown.
From that point forward, Chibu controlled the pace. The underdog landed stronger combinations while Blueface struggled to regain rhythm. By the final round, a corner flurry nearly forced a stoppage.
Judges ultimately awarded Chibu a unanimous decision victory.
The result drew reactions online, including a message from undisputed champion Claressa Shields.
“Egypt loss her fight, blue face loss…I think these public figures need at least 6 months in the gym before they start fighting in real fights, my opinion,” Shields wrote.
