On April 1, 2022 (psssst, it's April Fools' Day), the website MixMag.net published an article claiming that comedian Pete Davidson and musician Kanye West had agreed to participate in an upcoming charity boxing match at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz stadium. This was not a genuine news story. It was an April Fools' Day prank. While MixMag.net did not include any overtly obvious disclaimers identifying it as a piece of fiction, there were a number of giveaways that this article was a joke and not a genuine news item. It was a bit suspicious, to say the last, that this alleged deleted IG post racked up close to 2.5 million likes before it was deleted, yet warranted not a single article in a reputable entertainment news publication. While some people might relish seeing a boxing match between these two particular celebrities, no such fight was scheduled. It was a joke for April Fools' Day.
