It is reported that Evra turned to Instagram live to announce the fight and said, "I'm going be needing my entire UK family to pull up and show their love, from not only London but all across the UK, I need you guys because this is going to be crazy," according to The Sun.

Evra announced her retirement in 2019 and has dabbled in the world of sports commentary over the last few years. Additionally, he has established his own brand, dubbed "I Love This Game Official," on social media platforms. Evra frequently uses the brand name as a catchphrase on his social media accounts, where he broadcasts videos with the tagline to encourage others.

A merger of two Youtube channels, Saleh is a 28-year-old American YouTuber who has gathered over a billion views on his channel. Saleh has a little advantage over Evra in the ring, having already competed in three fights, winning two and drawing one.

In terms of height, Saleh is a few inches shorter than Evra, which could offer him a minor advantage over the latter in their bout.
