The Misfits Boxing Circus Was Ugly, Shameful, And 20,000 Fans Are Already Begging For More

Alright, let's talk about the absolute wildness that went down Saturday night in Manchester. You know I watch everything, from the pitch at Lumen Field to the ice at Climate Pledge, and this Misfits boxing event? It was a spectacle. Honestly, it was crude, it was ugly, and yeah, parts of it were downright shameful. But here's the kicker, folks, it was also undeniably addictive, and nearly 20,000 fans left the arena throwing imaginary punches, laughing their heads off, and swearing they'd be back for more. Seriously, Misfits, the business, knows its audience better than anyone.

Chaos and Questionable Fights: An Misfits Special

You just had to see it to believe it. We're talking about Tommy Fury, who actually has some real boxing experience, methodically beating Eddie Hall by decision in an exhibition bout. Hall, with his intimidating 80-inch chest, was trying to lunge at Fury, but Tommy's basic skills were more than enough. But that was almost the *tame* part of the night. Things got absolutely ridiculous with the Big Stacks and Jordan McCann fights. And no, that's not a critique, it's just a cold, hard fact. Every single one of those four guys would've struggled to win a fight at the Haringey Box Cup, which was happening the same weekend. Big Stacks, also known as Charlie Roberts, calls himself the "Hardest Man in Britain," and I really hope he's got a sense of humor because he needed it. His fight with Armz Korleone, who honestly had the best name of the whole weekend, almost didn't happen! Jordan McCann straight up slapped Stacks at the press conference, causing a cut that needed stitches. Doctors initially said "no fight," but you know how Misfits rolls, a deal was done, and they ended up hitting each other to the body. It was dismal to watch, and Stacks, claiming he was "out all night," barely saved himself in the fourth round. And get this: a rematch is already coming soon.

Viral Sensations and Unhinged Endings

Then there was Jordan McCann himself, stepping into the ring against viral sensation Ibiza Final Boss, whose real name is Jack Kay. This is the guy famous for his odd haircut and dancing in Ibiza clubs, no joke! McCann spent all week threatening violence, only to get clocked a few seconds in. His body stiffened, and he was momentarily "out on his feet." Give him credit, though, he showed some serious guts to stick with it. He found out fast that rapping about fighting and actual fighting are two totally different beasts. After "a thousand swings" and four rounds, the man with the pudding-bowl haircut and immaculate teeth got the nod. The crowd absolutely ate it up. And can we talk about Anthony Taylor? This guy dropped to his knees, claiming some substance got in his eyes, then tried to rugby tackle about ten men! It wasn't the first chaotic Misfits ending, and I guarantee it won't be the last. Taylor's a serial offender who practically guarantees a bit of anarchy, and the fans come for those skirmishes. Look, when Misfits kicked off in 2022 with KSI, it felt fresh, almost innocent. It wasn't a threat to "real" boxing. Back then, people thought traditional boxing could learn a thing or two about social media and marketing from these influencers. That was a nice theory, right? But Saturday? It pushed right up to that thin line between boxing and the glory days of wrestling. It's not a threat to the sport, but the whole carnival wasn't exactly dignified. Great business? Absolutely. A great image for boxing? Not so much. But you can bet your last dollar the fans are already hyped for the next installment.
