Millions of people watch boxing show matches featuring celebrities. Another fight of this kind happened on November 17 in Jakarta, where prominent actor Jefri Nichol and rock band The Lucky Laki's drummer El Rumi faced off in the Superstars Knockout tournament ring.
The four rounds of the fight between the young Indonesian celebrities proved to be really intense. Boxers actively engaged in combat, each trying to force the other to fight at their own pace. Nichol attacked more, but often missed, and by the end of the fight he was exhausted. Rumi sought to use his height advantage and keep his opponent at a distance — this helped him to take the initiative in the last round. Ultimately, the judges gave him the win by points.
The fight was broadcast on the Rans Entertainment YouTube channel. The match reached 2.06 million Peak Viewers, the best result in the channel's history. Rans Entertainment is one of the largest channels in Indonesia by number of subscribers on YouTube (more than 25.8 million people). In fact, it is a family channel run by popular couple of influencers Raffi Ahmad and Nagita Slavina. Their blogs are mostly entertainment content dedicated to family, children, various pranks, and travels. But sports events prevail among their live broadcasts — the channel often covers football, tennis, badminton, boxing, and other show matches. Before the Nichol and Rumi fight, the most popular stream on Rans Entertainment channel gathered about 308.5K Peak Viewers.
The Nichol and Rumi fight broadcast has become one of the most popular broadcasts in 2023 — it has ranked seventh among all broadcasts in terms of Peak Viewers across all platforms.
