Misfits Boxing returns on August 30, 2025, with one of its most stacked and high-profile crossover cards yet: “Ring of Thrones” at the AO Arena in Manchester, live on DAZN pay-per-view.
Headlined by Darren Till vs Luke Rockhold, the event promises a collision of combat sports worlds, with UFC veterans, influencer stars, and pro boxers all sharing the stage.
Main Event
Darren Till (3-0) vs Luke Rockhold (Pro Debut)
Former UFC welterweight title challenger Darren Till will face off against ex-UFC and Strikeforce middleweight champion Luke Rockhold in a professional boxing bout.
Till has gone 3-0 in boxing, including a TKO win over Anthony Taylor and a recent decision over Darren Stewart. With each fight, he’s shown improved fundamentals and composure.
Rockhold, making his pro boxing debut, brings elite MMA striking experience and a championship pedigree. He’s fought the best in the world and recently competed in bare-knuckle and Karate Combat exhibitions. This will be his first official boxing bout, and a huge step into the influencer-boxing spotlight.
Co-Main Event – Interim Middleweight Title
Tony Ferguson (Debut) vs Salt Papi (6-2)
In another eye-catching crossover bout, UFC legend Tony Ferguson enters the boxing ring for the first time to challenge YouTube star and Misfits staple Salt Papi for the Interim MFB Middleweight Title.
Ferguson, a fan favorite with an unorthodox fighting style, is looking to revive his career after a rough MMA skid. Meanwhile, Salt Papi looks to bounce back from recent defeats and prove he still belongs among the elite of crossover boxing.
