Simple Simon vs Ed Matthews fight date, undercard and stream for Settling Scores boxing event

TikTok stars Simple Simon and Ed Matthews will look to settle their violent rivalry with a boxing match in London on July 16.

'Simple' Simon Colbran and Matthews faced off for the first time in an outlandish pre-fight press conference, with the confrontation eventually coming to blows. The pair have hundreds of thousands of TikTok followers between them, and got heated when Matthews gifted Colbran a sex toy on stage.

The pair will headline the latest social media boxing event next month and came together in front of 1,500 fans at a rowdy press conference in the same venue. It took just minutes for the meeting to flare up when Matthews approached his opponent and offered him the toy.

They had to be held back by security as the event descended into chaos, with the pair now hellbent on stopping one another in this massive event. The co-main will feature a women's bout between OnlyFans models Astrid Wett and Elle Brooke.

Quotes corner

Simple Simon: "I'm realistic, he ain't realistic because he says he's going to knock me out in the first round. I'm realistic, there are people who talk and there are people who get on with it and I'm the kind of person who gets on with it so lets see what f***ing happens.

"I'm not going to say I'm going to knock him out. I'm training my nuts off, I'm training six days a week and I'm f***ing knackered and stressed right out but I'm going to so everything for this fight and do everything to win this fight. But I'm not going to say I'm going to knock him out because I'm not that arrogant."

Ed Matthews: "I can't lie, I've not been training because I've f***ed my ankle," he said. "I still can't train but I'll probably be cool in a week so that's all I need, three or four weeks training.

"I feel like he's got old man speed but he won't be able to catch up with me, the speed I've got is just different. I'll knock you out in the first or second round; I'll toy with you in the first round and knock you out in the second."
