A New York City charity has gotten richer after a donation from YouTuber ‘Dr Mike’, who has donated his entire $125k prize from a boxing match he lost in October.
The doctor, whose real name is Mikhail Varshavski, presented the Boys and Girls Club of Harlem with the massive check on Saturday. Â
According to the NY Post, the money ‘will fund after-school programs for students, including college prep and tutoring.’
Dr. Mike shared pictures to his Instagram of him presenting the check on Saturday

‘Yes, I technically took an “L”‘, he said on Instagram on Sunday. ‘But that L is really a lesson that something great can come from taking a loss.’
Varshavski fought MMA fighter Chris Avila in a Showtime pay-per-view match on October 29 in Glendale, Arizona.
The 33-year-old was defeated by unanimous decision after four rounds.
Varshavski had only boxed once before, in an exhibition match, while Avila was 1-1 before beating him with an 8-9 MMA record as well.

‘Dr Mike’ has over four million Instagram followers and more than 10.3 million YouTube subscribers, where he describes his content as ‘entertaining, reliable, evidence-based medical information.’
Varshavski, 33, is a practicing physician, but came under fire for partying maskless despite the pandemic in November 2020.
He had appeared in a video with Dr. Anthony Fauci where he touted the importance of social distancing.Â
