The fight was part of the Misfits Boxing 11 event, which brings together internet and sports personalities.

Son of Anderson Silva, Gabriel defeats digital influencer and challenges MMA and boxing fighter
Gabriel showed aggression and technique from the beginning of the fight, landing good blows to his opponent's face and body. Rosé tried to react with feints and counterattacks, but was dominated by the Brazilian most of the time.
In the third round, the YouTuber managed to surprise Gabriel with a straight right that shook the son of Anderson Silva. However, Gabriel recovered and set his pace again in the last round.
After the victory was announced, Gabriel wasted no time and challenged another fighter who was in the audience: Anthony Taylor, who is an MMA and boxing professional.
Taylor accepted the challenge and went to the ring to face Gabriel. The American provoked the Brazilian by saying he would knock him and his father out next.
