N3on is one of the world’s biggest streamers, and he’s at the forefront of influencer boxing through his association with Adin Ross’ Brand Risk Promotions.
After Brand Risk 16, we spoke with N3on, courtesy of Ch@mobile, a new wireless brand built specifically for the next generation of creators, streamers, and culture-shapers, about the rise of influencer boxing, his advice for streamers, and GTA 6.
Hey N3on, you’ve been around Brand Risk since it started. What’s the difference between the hype around Brand Risk 16 compared to when it started?
N3on: Brand Risk has gotten way bigger than when it first started. Every event feels like it has its own storyline, and you never know what’s going to happen. With people like Yera involved, there’s always something for the internet to talk about. That’s what makes it fun. It’s not just about the fights; it’s the personalities, the rivalries, and everything that happens around them.
Brand Risk has been getting millions of views on Kick and dominates social media. Do you think traditional boxing promoters are worried/jealous?
I think it’s just a different lane. Traditional boxing has its legends, and I respect the people who put in years of work to get where they are. But the internet has changed entertainment. People want to watch creators they already follow go head-to-head, and influencer boxing brings a whole different audience into the mix. I think there’s room for both.
Why is Brand Risk and influencer boxing so successful despite people calling it a fad for years. Thoughts on the future of influencer boxing?
People have been calling a lot of things on the internet a fad, but if people keep watching, talking about it, and showing up, that says something. Fans are invested in these creators, so when you put them in a situation like Brand Risk, people want to see what happens. I think it’s only going to keep evolving. The events are getting bigger, the personalities are getting bigger, and there are always new ways to entertain people.
Any dream fights you’d like to see in Brand Risk?
I think the most interesting matchups are the ones that bring together unexpected personalities. The audience loves seeing creators step outside their usual content and do something different, so I’d be interested in seeing matchups that bring that kind of energy. I would love to see MrBeast go up against anyone in the ring. That would be cinema.
Thoughts on Adin Ross as a promoter?
Adin is an internet genius, he really understands internet culture and knows how to bring attention to an event. He’s built a platform that brings people together and gets audiences invested in what’s happening. That’s an important part of what makes these events successful.
GTA 6 comes out later this month, how excited are you for the game’s release?
Growing up as a gamer and doing my part in playing GTA RP, how can you not be excited? It is one of the most anticipated games out there, it feels like everyone has been waiting for the drop, so I’m definitely interested to see what it brings. Gaming has always been a big part of streaming, and a release like this gives creators a lot of opportunities to connect with their audiences in new ways.
Where do you see yourself in 5 years, and what impact do you want to leave on streaming culture?
I want to keep growing, expanding what I do, and being part of where streaming goes next. The space is constantly evolving, and I’d like to be known for creating memorable moments and continuing to push myself creatively. I want to build something that lasts beyond any one stream or moment.
Advice for up-and-coming streamers?
Stay consistent, figure out what makes you different, and don’t be afraid to experiment. It’s easyto look at what other people are doing and try to copy it, but you need to find your own style and understand your audience. Building something takes time, so keep learning and improving.
