Beyond the boxing ring, Lyndon Arthur has cultivated a significant online following by producing humorous and relatable videos that routinely attract thousands of views.
Within boxing circles, ‘King Arthur’ is rarely associated with a charismatic persona. He has often been described as “moody”, especially during fight week when the light‑heavyweight contender focuses intensely on weight management.
In reality, Arthur enjoys laughter and lighthearted banter, which led him to adopt the social media moniker “some1zgot2sayit”.
Adorning a cap emblazoned with the “some1zgot2sayit” crest, the 34‑year‑old told Boxing News the backstory of his online persona.
“Apparently, nobody realized I had a sense of humor. I’m hilarious!”
A video where I humorously purchased overpriced shorts for my son unexpectedly went viral, making me realize that audiences appreciate my commentary.
I was traditionally reserved, but front‑camera presence has unveiled a new facet of myself.
I believe audiences now see me as more approachable. In boxing I was often seen as laid‑back and moody; however, my online presence has revealed a different persona, prompting comments like ‘Your page is funny – keep it up.’
Arthur’s increased approachability and reduced moodiness can be attributed, in part, to his partnership with a nutritionist.
The collaboration began in preparation for his April 2025 trilogy bout against Anthony Yarde, during which the Mancunian was unanimously defeated yet delivered one of his career‑best performances.
During his November fight against Brad Rea, Arthur showcased dynamic boxing across all 12 rounds, securing a majority decision.
His nutritionist partnership has improved both his mood and performance, largely by making weight management less arduous.
Prior to this, I’d crush the weight solo, running six miles daily for two weeks leading up to the fight.
Presently, I rarely run during fight week. My advice to fighters is to engage a nutritionist for proper weight management.
This altered preparation may have provided Arthur with the energy to recover from a second‑round knockdown against Rea.
After sparring with the 28‑year‑old years ago, Arthur acknowledges he may have underestimated Rea, yet ultimately displayed enough boxing acumen to win.
Brad Rea surprised me, and while I initially saw him as a skinny ginger kid, he demonstrated heart and resilience, earning his knockdown. Still, I proved I have more remaining.
Following his victory over Rea, Arthur was first slated to fight Liam Cameron—whom he previously outpointed—on May 9. However, plans shifted, and he instead received a domestic bout against Lewis Edmondson, scheduled for Saturday at Southampton’s St Mary’s Stadium.
Beyond this, the former European champion remains unsure of future prospects but envisions further all‑British contests.
Boxing will tell me when it’s time to retire. I hope it isn’t in the ring, but I trust someone will advise me when I must stop taking head injuries.
I feel revitalised. I’m diligent in the gym, not slowing down. Five weeks ago I was doing 10‑ and 12‑round sparring, assuming I was preparing for May 9. Thus, I feel I still have several years ahead.
As he prepares for Edmondson, Arthur acknowledges the ticking clock, yet his dedication to boxing has never been stronger.
