CONTROVERSIAL rapper Blueface will be hoping to blow off some steam when he meets British TikTok star Ed Matthews in a huge Kingpyn boxing ‘Wildcard’ fight this SATURDAY.
Blueface, 26, hasn’t stepped foot in the ring since he defeated Kane Trujillo during a 2021 Bare Knuckle FC event.
Ed Matthews and Blueface square off on Saturday April 22
And the American rapper will be desperate to prove he hasn’t lost his touch after having multiple fights cancelled for altercations outside the sport.
However, Ed Matthews is no stranger to a fist fight as the TikTok star knocked out 52-year-old Simple Simon on the Kingpyn bill last summer.
Both boxers have had their fair share of negativity in the media but they’ll know that victory will put their name in the headlines for the right reasons.
When is Ed Matthews vs Blueface?

The controversial pair have not been entered into the promotion’s High Stakes tournament but the contest is Kingpyn’s wildcard fight.
What TV channel is it on and can it be live streamed?

What has been said?
Blueface claimed to not know who Ed Matthews is but implied that he wanted the fight just for money.
The American star said: “Finally got a call, man’s got a fight.
“Some dude from Australia or the UK, I don’t know who the f*** is that guy.
“They called with the cheque, you know what we going to do, on God.”
But Ed Matthews responded with a disrespectful message to Blueface’s partner Chrisean Rock mentioning that she will be “holding man’s wood” after he stops him.
