TikTok stars Ed Matthews and Ben Williams had to be separated after a fight broke out between the two during a Misfits Boxing show on Friday night.
Matthews and Williams have become internet sensations in recent years and have nearly a million followers between them on TikTok.
But they were clearly at odds at London’s famous York Hall when they clashed backstage.
Footage shows Williams initially got into an argument with someone else at a bar, with both men pushing each other while others threatened to get involved.
Matthews, wearing a gray hoodie, is then seen approaching Williams and appears to throw a punch before the pair begin wrestling each other on the ground.

Matthews won his last fight on the undercard of KSI’s grudge match with Tommy Fury
Williams manages to get on top as he scrambles to his feet and lands some big blows to the back of Matthews’ head as he turns away.
Fortunately, security arrived on the scene to break up the fight, and they were forced to hold back friends of Matthews and Williams to prevent a massive brawl.
Williams posted a short video to TikTok after their fight, claiming he “still came out on top” despite getting into fights with multiple people, including Matthews.
The video showed Williams with a small cut under his left eye, apparently caused by the fight.
Matthews and Williams have both become involved in the YouTuber boxing scene, with the former having had three fights since his debut last year.

He has two wins and one loss to his name after claiming victory over YouTuber Swarmz in his last fight on the undercard of KSI’s grudge match with Tommy Fury last month.
Williams has had just one fight, beating compatriot Black Paddy in the semi-finals of the KingPyn tournament in July.
The fight between Matthews and Williams took place on a night when many of the internet’s famous faces entered the ring in front of a raucous crowd at York Hall.
Controversial comedian Dapper Laughs made his boxing debut, defeating his opponent Simple Simon in nine seconds before the fight was waved just over a minute into the first round.
