Misfits Boxing launched last year and looks set to stay after signing a five-year deal with global broadcaster DAZN. The boxing promotion offers fighters from different disciplines and stars from the entertainment world a chance to fight in pay-per-view shows.
So what is Misfits Boxing, and who founded the company?
The company was founded by brothers Kalle and Nisse Sauerland of Wasserman Boxing alongside YouTube star KSI and his manager Mams Taylor. While being chief executive of the company, KSI was also the main event at the first Misfits Boxing event in August last year when he made his professional debut beating both Swarmz and Luis Alcaraz in the same night.
DAZN broadcasted the first MF & DAZN: X Series event which was followed by two further fight nights in October and November. KSI will be back in the ring on Saturday at their fourth show when he faces American YouTuber FaZe Temperrr, who was a late replacement after MMA fighter Dillon Danis pulled out of his maiden boxing fight.
Temperrr was originally scheduled to face a ‘mystery opponent’ before Danis withdrew last week opening the door for his follow American to have a main event chance. KSI’s manager Taylor said that Danis backed out of the contest because ‘he’s under-prepared, he doesn’t have a coach, and he might be struggling with weight’.
