Crypto Twitter may sometimes seem like a raging brawl, but on February 20, there will be actual live combat between crypto influencers at Consensus Hong Kong 2025.
The conference is set to host the eighth edition of Crypto Fight Night (CFN), an industry sporting and networking event that has surged in popularity since its inception in 2021. The last CFN held in Dubai in December featured a thrilling showdown between renowned crypto YouTuber Bitboy and memecoin trader and influencer Ansem. The match concluded in a dramatic draw and garnered a record one million live streams.

Rahul Suri, a co-founder of CFN, explained that the organizers sought new ways to connect crypto enthusiasts in person as the world began to emerge from the pandemic.
“Exhibition boxing seemed like a natural fit, given the individualistic and competitive ethos of both arenas,” Suri noted. “Crypto is a very player-versus-player environment, and combined with the risk-taking attitude of the general crypto participant, boxing has become a highly-desired sport. The fights at Crypto Fight Night are more than just entertainment—they’re a gateway to the crypto world.”
What to Expect in Hong Kong
At Consensus Hong Kong, approximately 500 attendees, all of whom possess VIP tickets, are expected at the three-hour event. It will be held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, adjacent to the conference’s main venue, the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. Like all CFN events, the bouts will be live-streamed on CFN’s X and YouTube channels.
The main event will showcase a fight between crypto influencers Bitlord, boasting over 400,000 followers on X, and Korean Jew, a market analyst with nearly 150,000 followers. The victor will be awarded the prestigious CFN Crypto Belt.
Another highly-anticipated match features YouTube sensations My Mate Nate, known as the Mr. Beast of Thailand with nearly 15 million subscribers, against charismatic CFN veteran DawoodSAVAGE. Additionally, there will be several bouts featuring semi-professional boxers.
Awards for “Fight of the Night” and “BONK of the Night” (for the best punch landed, nodding to the popular memecoin) will be announced on social media following the event.
