Ultimate ‘Josh’ Battle of 2021! Pics & Videos From the #JoshFight in Nebraska Go Viral As Hundreds of Joshes Take a Tumblr Joke Seriously

What the Josh! The great #JoshFight of 2021 saw hundreds of participants to fight over their names in Lincoln, Nebraska. Joshes from all over the country attended the battle and armed with a pool noodle, a 4-year-old Josh Vinson Jr earned the crown. According to reports, in April 2020, Josh Swain, a University of Arizona student, created a Facebook messenger group with other people sharing his exact same name, challenging them to a fight. He wasn't serious obviously, but the screenshots went viral and finally, after a year the first-ever #JoshFight was held. Check out the pics and videos from the event.

What Started as a Joke!
