Misfits Boxing 22 touches down in Manchester on Saturday, August 30, and this one’s a proper mess—in the best way possible. Darren Till is throwing hands with Luke Rockhold in the main event. Tony Ferguson is fighting Salt Papi in the co-main. No, you’re not hallucinating. Yes, it’s all happening under one roof, live on DAZN.
The MFB Bridgerweight and Interim Middleweight titles are on the line. The hype is absurd, the matchups are insane, and somehow it all makes sense in the world of Misfits Boxing.
Who gave Till a license to box—and how is Rockhold still breathing?
Liverpool’s Darren Till has gone from getting choked out in UFC title fights to knocking heads off in a boxing ring. Two fights into his Misfits career and he’s already throwing middle fingers at logic, racking up stoppages and looking comfortable without the threat of a takedown.
Now he’s facing Luke Rockhold—a man who’s been KO’d more times than he’s posted on Instagram. But to be fair, Rockhold did win a UFC belt once, and that counts for something, even if his chin’s been on vacation since 2016. He’s still a danger man with technique, size, and enough pride to make this a proper scrap.
This one’s for the MFB Bridgerweight belt, which apparently means anything goes between 200 cheeseburgers and an average-sized cruiserweight.
Tony Ferguson vs Salt Papi: We’ve lost the plot—but we’re all watching
Right, so this is where the simulation really breaks. Tony Ferguson, the man who once terrorized the UFC lightweight division with elbows, weird warmups, and psychotic intensity, is now boxing Salt Papi—a TikTok guy who suddenly punches like he’s been training with Freddie Roach in a basement for years.
Salt Papi knocked out King Kenny in Qatar. Don’t know who that is? Doesn’t matter. It happened. He’s legit now in this bizarro world. And Ferguson? He’s walking highlight reel violence even in decline. His resume includes a 12-fight UFC win streak, and a jaw that’s absorbed everything except retirement papers.
Somehow this ends with one man holding the MFB Interim Middleweight title. Somehow, we’ll all pretend that means something.
