The third installment of YouTuber iDubbbz's charity influencer boxing event Creator Clash is coming up fast, but one of its main fighters now appears to have dropped out.

The headlining fight was set to see Epic Meal Time's Harley Morenstein square off against L.A. Beast, but now, it seems as if Morenstein has dropped out of the fight.

So why did Harley Morenstein claim he's dropping out of the fight, and what does this mean for Creator Clash 3? Here's what we know.

Who Is 'Harley Morenstein' And What Is 'Creator Clash 3?'

Harley Morenstein is the creator of the once-popular YouTube channel Epic Meal Time, a comedy cooking show in which its hosts would make absurdly calorie-dense food, often including bacon.

Creator Clash is an influencer boxing charity event hosted by YouTuber iDubbbz, with the first event taking place in May 2022 and Creator Clash 2 taking place in 2023.

Creator Clash 3 is set to take place on June 28th, 2025, and originally featured a headlining fight between Morenstein and YouTuber L.A. Beast. Harley Morenstein previously fought in both Creator Clash one and two, winning his first fight and losing his second. Now, however, it appears that Morenstein has dropped out of the fight.

Why Did Harley Drop Out Of Creator Clash 3?

On April 28th, 2025, Harley Morenstein made a post on X simply reading, "I’m not boxing." Considering Creator Clash 3 is his only known, scheduled fight, many assume the post is Morenstein's way of dropping out of the fight.

At the time of publishing this editorial, Morenstein has not elaborated on his reasoning for dropping out, but some theories are swirling on social media.

Throughout April 2025, Harley Morenstein has been speaking critically of iDubbbz and Creator Clash 3. During a recent interview with YouTuber Nichola Deorio, Morenstein criticized the other fighters, iDubbbz and the Creator Clash 3 team for failing to properly promote the event and garner hype.

Harley Morenstein has also been garnering online attention for his outspoken sympathy towards Israel regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict, which some think is related to his walking away.

During the Deorio interview, Morenstein criticized iDubbbz for releasing his "Content Cop – H3" video prior to the fight and, in his opinion, making the fight about a "decades-long holy war in the Middle East."

Recently, Harley Morenstein criticized several clips of leftist political streamer Hasan Piker showing support for Hamas, which Morenstein found problematic, resulting in a back-and-forth argument between Morenstein and an X user over whether or not Israel has the "right to exist."

Some believe that all of this relates to Harley Morenstein's leave from Creator Clash 3, with the iDubbbz "Content Cop – H3" video largely being in support of Palestine, Hasan Piker and related pro-Palestine political streamers and against Ethan Klein of the H3 Podcast, who Morenstein has regularly shown sympathy and support for.

However, until Morenstein elaborates on the situation further, we don't know the exact reason why he won't be fighting.
