A 41-year-old dad managed to knock out a YouTuber nearly half his age after just 22 seconds in the ring.
Nathan 'Dad' Barnatt took on Matt Watson at the Creator Clash event back in 2022, but it ended with one of the fastest knockouts in history.
Watson, aged 26 at the time, was taken down with a flurry of punches despite being 15 years younger than Barnatt.

Both men have impressive followings on YouTube, with Barnatt currently sitting on over 468,000 subscribes, while Watson, better known as 'SuperMega', is almost at the 1 million milestone.
You can watch the moment below:
Barnatt has previously claimed he could go '15 minutes straight of punching' without stopping,
"I'm truly being honest with you, I do not embellish, I can go 15 minutes straight of punching and moving without any breaks," Barnatt told Mirror Fighting ahead of an event in 2023.

"That's what me and my coach worked on, we did these really intense drills where we're hitting the bag, I'm sparring, getting hit, throwing for 10-15 minutes non-stop.
"That's so that I can definitely throw for two minutes with a 60 second break afterwards, I don't even have to sit down. I have psychotic cardio, I will say, but I assumed that's what everyone just had to do. Then I learned 'on, no one really does this' and I've done a 12-hour dance stream where I didn't stop moving."
In more recent boxing news, Wayne Bridge has pulled out of his fight with KSI this week.
The former footballer had just two days ago agreed to fight with the YouTuber at a Misfits event in March. It would have been the 44-year-old’s first professional boxing bout.

But Bridge took to Instagram to confirm the fight is off, writing: “I'm sure a lot of you have seen what happened on Saturday night at the Misfits Boxing event.
"Firstly, I think it's important that I explain my reason for accepting the fight. I always like to challenge myself. This felt like a good opportunity to go up against an interesting opponent on a big stage. I have always loved boxing as part of my everyday training routine. I was fully prepared to train hard and have some fun.
"Of course, I expected to face some criticism, but I feel like what was said on Saturday crossed a line.
"These are deeply personal comments that affect mine and other families involved in the situation. I'm a family man first and my priority is protecting them."
He continued: "My opponent is someone that many children look up to around the world, including my kids. I hope one day he will look back on this differently. I personally don't want to be involved in these exchanges."

KSI had made a jab about the star’s past relationship with Vanessa Perroncel.
“Wayne Bridge, aren't you the guy that let John Terry smash your ex?" He said.
"That is what you are known for."
