Larry Wheels had the biggest moment of his Brand Risk 15 heavyweight bout with Vitaly, then lost the chance to continue almost immediately after it.
Wheels entered the ring as a strength-sports name crossing into the boxing lane, while Vitaly brought another internet-heavy matchup to a Brand Risk card that leaned on quick clips and chaotic finishes. The result gave Wheels a knockdown without a win because the injury stopped the fight before a clean result could be recorded.
The no contest landed on the same Brand Risk 15 card where Austin McBroom knocked out FaZe Temperrr in the main event. MiddleEasy also tracked the card before fight night when Gabriel Silva was booked against Kimbo Slice Jr., giving the event a mix of influencer boxing and familiar fight-sports surnames. The same crossover lane has kept popping up around MVP, PFL, and Jake Paul debates as fight promotions chase new audiences.
The injury makes a rematch question unavoidable, but the only confirmed result from the ring is the no contest. Wheels left with the clip of the knockdown; Vitaly avoided a loss on the official outcome because the bout ended through injury rather than a referee count or scorecards.
Brand Risk Promotions said Wheels dropped Vitaly before tearing his bicep, which left the fight ruled a no contest in Miami. The official post showed the knockdown sequence and the injury aftermath from the influencer boxing card.
