About Crypto Fight Night
Last year a bunch of basement-dwelling crypto bros got drunk and started to argue about who could take who in a fight. As grown drunk men with too much money usually do, they decided to settle the matter with their fists. This is how Crypto Fight Night started.
Crypto Fight Night is back and it’s bigger, better, and badder than before. Cryptowatch joins the fray to host this year’s Crypto Fight Night livestream.
Join us and thousands of other crypto degenerates to watch your favorite traders and online personalities put down their keyboards and duke it out in the ring live in Dubai!
J.O.E.Y
J.O.E.Y has been hard at work training for the past 6 months for his boxing debut against Krutches. When he’s not joining in on reminiscing about when life was simpler or expressing his love of shakshuka for breakfast, J.O.E.Y has been in the gym, preparing. Preparing to send his opponent to the floor. Tune in LIVE on Saturday November 12th at 3pm UTC to find out if he can pull it off. Join the livestream and claim the official Crypto Fight Night 2022 POAP, exclusively on Cryptowatch.

What is your main motivation to get in the ring? How long have you been training for this fight?
I always loved this game, the adrenaline, the vibes, the time and effort you put in to get the best out of yourself, the discipline. I have been training since April for the fight.
What aspect of training comes most naturally to you? What is the hardest part about training?
Most natural skill that I have is my defense mechanism.
What weaknesses do you see in your opponent’s fighting game?
The only thing my opponent will see is the floor.
What’s your plan after you win?
When I win, I will start a new fitness challenge and keep myself motivated for the next one hopefully.
How long have you been training for this fight? What’s your favorite strike to use?
I have been training since April for the fight. Fav strike is jab straight hook straight.
Would you fight again? Who do you want to face-off with next?
I would definitely fight again if I find a worthy opponent. I would create a game between Muhammad Ali (in his prime) vs Mayweather (in his prime). I know it’s a different category, but worth creating and I would fight the winner from this fight.
Krutches
A self-proclaimed crypto and sportsbetting degen, Krutches is known for his unapologetically poor takes and Monster Energy crime scenes. When he’s not taking pictures of his dog Mac, you can find him pumping iron at the gym or punting money on fantasy football. Cryptowatch had the opportunity to ask him a few questions about how he’s feeling about Crypto Fight Night on November 12, 2022. Read on below to get the latest alpha on his training.

Want to make any fight predictions for the night?
Ponzi in the main event by decision, and I think Barney will make it closer than people think but still taking KJ in that fight.
What is your main motivation to get in the ring? How long have you been training for this fight?
It’s a new challenge. Never boxed before but had an open invite for anyone who wanted to fight at the next fight night. Began training in April.
What aspect of training comes most naturally to you? What is the hardest part about training?
Power, technique was newer to me, and cardio is always a work in progress.
What weaknesses do you see in your opponent’s fighting game?
Haven’t seen much training footage, but I expect him to try to use lots of jabs and then follow up with power but I think the power stuff could get sloppy, so can try to take advantage there. And like with any amateur/exhibition fight, I expect him to come out fast and gas/adrenaline dump.
What’s your plan after you win?
Just have fun the day after then fly home and find my next challenge.
Would you fight again? Who do you want to face-off with next?
Honestly probably not unless a perfect opponent that I disliked came up. Most of them would likely duck me or no show, so I’m guessing that answer would be no. Training is a massive time requirement when taking it seriously, so I doubt it, but I’ll never say never.
