Where does the “Broken nose, one knee down” meme come from?

On December 7, 2024, French creator Billy (RebeuDeter) organized the boxing event DTR Fight at Paris La Défense Arena, facing veteran GregMMA. GregMMA won by decision, leaving Billy with a broken nose alongside prior knee trauma including a torn ligament and meniscus tear. Later, during an interview published on October 7, 2025 with media outlets Programme TV and RMC Sport, alongside rapper SCH, Billy humorously described his lasting injuries by stating he still had a broken nose and one less knee.
