Australian creator Chrogman has gone from a complete unknown to a viral phenomenon in just a few short months.
The fearless TikToker made his name with just a camera and a somewhat unhinged idea: fight his followers until he gets “knocked the f**k out.”
Though chaotic and surprisingly full-blooded, the fights are held in good spirits. Chrogman’s trademark is arriving on location — often in a wacky costume — brawling for a few minutes, and then embracing his challenger, a complete stranger, afterward.
Behind the absurdity, there’s a strange warmth to the pop-up boxing bouts.
The contests attracted a deluge of followers — and fast. Chrogman now boasts 1.3 million on Instagram and a further 413,000 on TikTok.
As his fanbase grew, the scrappy Aussie began to take his roadshow worldwide.
He’s fought on the Great Wall of China, at the Acropolis in Athens, and at the base of the Pyramids — often embarking on a wild night out with his opponent afterward.
Before long, celebrities wanted a piece of the mock-serious action. Chrogman fought KSI’s brother Deji, YouTuber Tayo Ricci, and, more recently, Andrew Tate.
The online sensation’s pluck to face off against whoever calls him out is very much part of the appeal. And that uncrushable spirit was evident for all to see when he pulled up to box Larry Wheels.
Larry Wheels vs. Chrogman: The Fight Nobody Saw Coming
Wheels, an IFBB Pro bodybuilder and former world record-setting powerlifter, invited Chrogman to “pull up” to his home in Los Angeles.
He obliged, turning up wearing nothing but a towel, boxer shorts, a drawn-on six-pack, bald cap, and fake goatee to complete the Larry Wheels look.
The sheer size difference between the two was stark from the start. Chrogman, whose fearlessness heavily outweighs his frame, looked like a young boy compared to Wheels.
Nevertheless, he came out swinging for the hills, landing a few good shots on the strongman before eventually getting knocked down by a stiff left hook.
The video hit 1.2 million likes on Instagram, with Wheels even sharing it on his own profile.
“Who’s next?” he wrote to fans.
Chrogman may have taken a tumble, but he won the internet’s respect for the David vs. Goliath contest.
“Mate, I think he eats your body weight each week… much respect bro,” one fan wrote.
“Larry has eaten bigger steaks than old mate and still couldn’t knock him out,” another added.
The full video is posted on both Larry Wheels’ and Chrogman’s Instagram accounts.
