Misfits Boxing captivates audiences with its unique blend of celebrity and professional boxing. Founded by KSI and his team, this promotion has been redefining the sport since its inception. With a series of events throughout the year, Misfits Boxing entertains fans while making significant waves in the boxing industry.
The year kicked off with the much-anticipated MF & DAZN: X Series 20, which showcased a match between Darren Till and Anthony Taylor. This event, held on January 18 at Co-op Live in Manchester, saw Till triumph over Taylor via a technical knockout in the sixth round. Initially, Till was set to face Tommy Fury, but Fury’s withdrawal due to a more lucrative opportunity led to this matchup.
Significant events and match outcomes
Before his fight with Taylor, Till had actively called out several notable opponents, including Mike Perry and Jake Paul, following an exhibition bout against Mohammad Mutie. After Tommy Fury’s withdrawal, Till remained committed to headlining the event, leading to his matchup with Taylor. Tensions escalated during the press conference, highlighted by Fury’s father instigating a near-brawl by throwing water at Till during heated exchanges.
Upcoming matches and changes
Misfits 21, titled Unfinished Business, was originally set to feature KSI against Dillon Danis. However, illness forced KSI to withdraw, resulting in the bout’s cancellation in March. The follow-up event, Blinders & Brawls, occurred on May 16, where Till faced Darren Stewart. Till emerged victorious once again, winning by unanimous decision.
Initially, this event was meant to showcase Idris Virgo and Ty Mitchell, but scheduling conflicts necessitated a postponement. The scheduled bout featuring Till and Stewart solidified Till’s position as a leading figure in Misfits Boxing.
Future prospects and additional events
The year continued with the announcement of Misfits 22, dubbed Ring of Thrones, featuring a thrilling double main event. On August 30, Darren Till squared off against former UFC champion Luke Rockhold, while Tony Ferguson faced Salt Papi. Both bouts showcased the continued crossover appeal of Misfits Boxing, with Till securing a knockout victory in the third round, further solidifying his reputation in the ring.
As the year progresses, Misfits Boxing is set to host a variety of exciting events. The upcoming MF Duel, featuring Lil Cracra and FoxTheG on November 9, promises to be a highlight, showcasing emerging talents in the lightweight category. This event follows the trend of integrating influencers and celebrities into professional boxing, a hallmark of the Misfits brand.
Anticipation for future events
Plans for Misfits Mania on December 20 are underway, featuring Andrew Tate against Chase DeMoor. The promotion remains at the forefront of celebrity boxing, with anticipation for these matchups reflecting the growing interest in Misfits Boxing as a legitimate platform for both entertainment and competition. Fans eagerly await the next chapter in the exciting saga of Misfits Boxing.
