Sam Hyde vs THMPSN fight UK time: Start time and ring walks for YouTube fight

YouTube boxing is full of quirky characters, and perhaps none are stranger than heavyweight comedian Sam Hyde, who faces IAMTHMPSN tonight in London.

The O2 arena will play host to KSI's boxing return when he faces two opponents tonight as well as a host of colourful individuals on the undercard. And somewhere in the midst of the madness is Australian Tik Tok sensation Jordan 'THMPSN' Thompson and former Adult Swim star Sam Hyde.

Weighing in at a collective 516lb, Hyde vs Thompson is the heaviest fight in YouTube boxing history, and promises not to go the distance. The funnyman has adopted an outlandish 'Irish Candyman' persona throughout fight week, while the Aussie musician has tended to remain more mellow in front of the cameras.

Here's all you need to know about Sam Hyde vs IAMTHMPSN...

What UK time will Sam Hyde vs THMPSN start?

Sam Hyde vs THMPSN is the third fight of the evening, meaning it will come after a sure-fire extravaganza between KSI and Swarmz, with Deen The Great vs Evil Hero following before the heavyweights get underway. That means the fight will likely take place at some point in the region of 8pm UK time, but this may change depending on how long the preceding fights take to complete.

Sam Hyde

"They're not respecting the Irish, it's driving me crazy, the lack of respect for the Irish in this room right now, the pure hostility against the Irish, I aim to put an end to it. The man, he smells like a blowpop, he's got the taste of candy about him and I'm going to eat. I didn't actually get to look at his footage yet, but I will - I'm going to make it as quick as possible, believe you me. It will be like breaking open a Cadbury egg. If I don't s*** my pants, I guarantee the first round, but we'll see. My message to THMPSN is; 'I hope it was worth it!'"

THMPSN

"He's an interesting dude, I've sparred with bigger, badder guys than that so I'm not really worried about him. They're more cool, calm and collected but they hit harder, I think."
