Shane King vs Thomas Phillips at Duel: Arena 1
This one landed in the early hours of 25 August, four days before the card, and it is the hardest bout on the bill to write about honestly — because almost nothing about the two men is on public record. No fight databases list them. No combat record exists for either. So rather than pad this page with invented biography, below is exactly what is confirmed and exactly what is not. For the rest of the card, start at our Duel: Arena 1 hub.

What is actually confirmed
The bout was announced by Duel: Arena in the early hours of Monday 25 August, four days before the card, and co-posted with Shane King's own Instagram account. It is billed as an influencer boxing bout — the third on a card that also features Ryan Pownall against Patrick Clark Jr and Jack Grady against Wade Stokan.

What we could not verify. How large either man's following is, what either is best known for, whether they have any history with each other, whether either has boxed before, and what weight they have agreed. We searched the fight databases and the open web and found nothing solid on either name. We would rather leave those lines blank than fill them with guesses — and we will update this page the moment the promotion or the weigh-in makes any of it official.
Where this sits on the card
Duel: Arena 1 has now added four bouts in the eighteen days before it happens: Manuwa's opponent was replaced, a featherweight MMA fight appeared, a catchweight MMA fight appeared, and now this. That is not a sign of chaos so much as a sign of how debut promotions work — you announce a headline act to sell tickets, then spend the following weeks filling the hours around it.
A card that is still growing four days out is a card being built to fill a broadcast window, not a card built around rankings. Read the undercard accordingly.
Practically, that has one consequence worth knowing: bouts added this late tend to open the show. If you specifically want to watch this one, be in your seat or on the stream from the first bell at 7:00 PM ET rather than turning up for the main event.
Who wins
We are not going to pretend to know. Neither man has a record, a tape, or a public history of fighting anybody — there is genuinely nothing to analyse, and any preview claiming otherwise is filling space.
What we can say is what usually decides bouts like this one, because influencer boxing has a strong pattern to it. Conditioning decides most of them. Both men are likely to throw everything they have in the opening ninety seconds; whoever can still lift their hands in round two generally wins. Actual boxing technique matters less than whether someone did the roadwork.
The first genuinely informative moment will be Friday's weigh-in, when the agreed weight becomes public and both men are seen on camera side by side. That is free to watch on the promotion's YouTube and Facebook channels, and for a fight with no form to go on it is worth more than any preview — including this one.

How to watch and what it costs
King vs Phillips is on the Duel: Arena 1 undercard, so the same ticket and the same stream cover it and the main event. Doors open at 6:00 PM ET and the first fight is at 7:00 PM ET on Saturday, 29 August — the 6:00 PM time listed on Ticketmaster is the door time, not the first bell.
The broadcast is pay-per-view at $29.99 through DuelArena.tv, streamed worldwide via PlayLive. Fight week is free: the press conference on Thursday and both weigh-ins on Friday go out on the promotion's YouTube and Facebook channels — full schedule on the Arena 1 hub.
Tickets start at $56.69 all-in through the official Ticketmaster event page, fees included. On betting: a bout between two men with no record is the one fight on this card we would genuinely steer you away from staking on. There is no information to price it with, and neither you nor the bookmaker has any idea what is about to happen. Our sportsbook page explains how the rest of the card is handled.
Result — August 29
The bout has not happened yet. The result goes here on the night, with the method and the round.
We will also fill in whatever the weigh-in and the broadcast reveal about the two of them, because at the moment this is the least documented fight on the card. Results for every other bout land on the Arena 1 hub.
The other influencer bouts are Ryan Pownall vs Patrick Clark Jr and Jack Grady vs Wade Stokan. If you want the fights with actual professionals in them, Cunningham vs Penafiel and Anthony vs Morrow are the two to turn up early for.
The bout was announced in the early hours of 25 August by @duelarena_, co-posted with Shane King's account. Neither man appears in Tapology, Sherdog or any other fight database at the time of writing, and we have not found a verifiable combat record for either. Everything on this page comes from the promotion's own announcement. Tickets are sold only through Ticketmaster. Betting the card? Our sportsbook page covers the terms, then Duel.com.
Things people actually ask
Who are Shane King and Thomas Phillips?
Both are internet personalities rather than professional fighters. Shane King posts on Instagram as @shnacckk and co-posted the promotion's announcement of the bout. Thomas Phillips goes by Tiny Tom and posts as @tinytomsadventures. Beyond that, neither man has a public profile that we have been able to verify, and neither appears in any fight database.
Do either of them have a boxing or MMA record?
Not one that exists on public record. Tapology, Sherdog and the other fight databases have no listing for either man, which means this is either a debut for both or their previous bouts were unsanctioned. The promotion has not described either as an experienced fighter.
What weight is the bout contested at?
The promotion has not published a weight for this bout. It is billed simply as an influencer boxing match. The official weigh-in on Friday 28 August is when that number becomes public, and it is streamed free on the promotion's YouTube and Facebook channels.
When is Shane King vs Thomas Phillips?
Saturday, August 29, 2026 at the Kia Center in Orlando. Doors open at 6:00 PM ET and the first fight is at 7:00 PM ET. The running order has not been published, but bouts added this late typically open the card.
How can I watch it?
Duel: Arena 1 is pay-per-view at $29.99, ordered through DuelArena.tv and streamed worldwide via PlayLive. The same purchase covers the whole card. Fight week itself — the press conference and both weigh-ins — is free on the promotion's YouTube and Facebook channels.
Why is a bout being added four days before the event?
It is normal for a debut promotion. Undercards get filled late because fighters fall out, budgets settle and the promotion works out how long the broadcast needs to run. Duel: Arena 1 has now added four bouts in the eighteen days before the card.
