Sam Hyde

Hyde has been making waves throughout KSI's boxing return fight week with his outlandish 'Candyman' persona, but insists that he is very serious about ...

So thanks to those guys for putting me on the card and letting me be here. "It's the fight game and as long as you don't have a swastika tattooed on your chest you go and do your s*** and prove it, that's all people care about," Hyde explained. They're not going to remember your live show where you do noises, but you have to do it if you're on Adult Swim because they won't pay you." I know that probably it would have ultimately been worth it to stay on TV, but those guys at Adult Swim make money from advertising, which is why you see Eric Andre in Verizon commercials, because he has to be. Ultimately, Hyde is now set to continue his usual comedic endeavours online, while launching first a collection of NFTs and then a video game. He has been embraced by the YouTube boxing public, as well as fans who have been introduced to him through standard boxing media. But a slew of bad press for Hyde stemming from his association with far right politics ultimately made them untenable, and he has been essentially blacklisted from the industry since. "I want to murder Hasan Piker," Hyde said in an out-of-character chat with Mirror Fighting on the eve of his debut. But Charls Carroll, their third member and close friend before comedy fame, decided not to continue working with them leaving their personal relationship to fall to the wayside. "We were [really close]," he said, before admitting that the shows cancellation likely had an effect on their friendship. "His politics are a dime a dozen, I don't give a f*** about his politics, I hate him. Despite being linked in the past to the alt-right, Hyde tries to veer away from expressly wading into political waters.
