Self-proclaimed masculinity influencer King Azoulay has found himself in an embarrassing position after his scheduled match against Supa Hot Fire was cancelled before he ever entered the ring.
The bout which was set to appear on an Adin Ross promoted card in Miami, fell through after Azoulay apparently failed to secure the necessary athletic commission permit to compete.
The fallout has been highlighted in a recent commentary video, highlighting how Azoulay spent considerable time talking up his combat prowess before the cancellation. In previous content, Azoulay had boasted about his training regimen and made bold declarations about his abilities.
“I have a different physique. I’m not going to be fast enough. And I’m going to train this physique so next time I end my opponent,” he stated in one clip.
Following the cancellation, Azoulay remained in Miami and posted gym training videos, claiming his body quickly adapted back to 200 pounds (91 kilograms) within 48 hours. He referenced preparing for a “next time” despite never having competed in the cancelled bout.
The situation bears similarities to a previous match Azoulay had against opponent Gypsy Crusader, where licensing issues also arose. Rather than acknowledge the pattern, Azoulay pivoted to calling out multiple potential opponents including Ali Sobh and Vitaly.
“If you want to organize a match between me, Ali, and Vitaly, same night, I’ll take on both opponents. No problem at all,” he claimed in one video.
Azoulay also conducted what appeared to be a self-written Q&A session, where he discussed his motivation and future plans. He spoke about hearing his future children’s voices and claimed to sometimes go three days without rest.
“I swear to God sometimes I don’t sleep for 3 days. And people are like, ‘Bro, you’re like a vampire. You need sleep.’ But you don’t get it,” he explained.
The influencer, who promotes a pre-workout supplement called King’s Fury, has attempted to position himself as a traditional masculinity advocate. However, critics have pointed out inconsistencies between his public statements about family values and his actual circumstances.
When commenters questioned whether his Rolls-Royce was rented, Azoulay posted a video showing a payment of $5,500 and registration fees, though notably did not display whose name appeared on the registration documents.
Despite claiming to have only three million followers across platforms, Azoulay suggested he might be “the most famous influencer on the planet” because videos criticizing him receive millions of views.
