Josh fight

What started as a joke on the internet by one person turned into a mega duel championship in a US park to reclaim the title of one supreme...Josh.

A 22-year-old boy named Josh Swain came up with the funny idea of making a social media group of hundreds of people named ‘Josh’ when the coronavirus pandemic began last year.

Josh, a student from Arizona, messaged several other people named Josh on Facebook and challenged them to a duel to decide the ultimate Josh.

"Precisely, 4/24/2021, 12:00pm, meet at these coordinates (40.82232286 -96.7982002) we fight, whoever wins gets to keep the name, everyone else has to change their name, you have a year to prepare, good luck," Swain had messaged hundreds of Josh.

After almost a year, all Josh met together in Nebraska and transformed a field into a warzone as people took pool noodles to beat each other as a fun exercise.

Titled ‘Josh vs Josh vs Josh’ the fight started trending on Twitter with the hashtag ‘#JoshFight’.

After pool noodle fights and the fun games of 'rock, paper, scissors', a four-year-old was crowned as the winner of the duel exercise and was nicknamed 'Little Josh'.

However, this was not just a fun game. The fight led to people donating money to help Little Josh fight against an illness — he has been fighting seizures since he turned two.
