Nathan Barnatt, also known as 'Dad', is generating significant buzz ahead of his next Misfits Boxing match against Turkish streamer Ediz Tasci. The 45-year-old internet personality, famous for his 'Dad' character, recently drew attention with his distinctive demeanor at a press conference.
Barnatt's 'Dad' persona, which he states originated in 2018 and emerged into the world in 2019 from 'The Facility' in Southwest North America, has garnered him a substantial online following. This character has propelled him into influencer boxing, where he has a perfect record of two wins.
He previously gained notoriety when UFC commentator Joe Rogan incorrectly assumed Barnatt had fought his son in the ring. Barnatt clarified that his opponent was significantly younger but not his son, humorously noting he only has a daughter named 'Daughter'.
Before his boxing endeavors, Barnatt established a career in entertainment, including acting roles and appearing on America's Got Talent as the character Keith Apicary. He aspires to be the 'greatest YouTuber and pop star in the universe,' with boxing being a secondary pursuit.
Looking ahead, Barnatt anticipates his fight with Ediz Tasci, who recently debuted in MMA, to be his most challenging contest to date. He expressed his determination to perform well in this upcoming bout.
