Misfits Boxing said its 22nd event will take place on Aug. 30 at AO Arena in Manchester, headlined by a bridgerweight bout between former UFC middleweight contender Darren Till and ex-UFC champion Luke Rockhold. The match marks Till’s third appearance under the Misfits banner and Rockhold’s first professional boxing contest after stints in bare-knuckle and karate combat. The co-main event will see former interim UFC lightweight champion Tony Ferguson make his boxing debut against YouTube personality Salt Papi, whose real name is Nathaniel Bustamante. The pair will vie for an interim middleweight belt, adding further stakes to a card that blends mixed-martial-arts pedigree with influencer boxing appeal. Both fights continue a trend of MMA veterans crossing into crossover boxing promotions. The show will stream live on DAZN in the United States, with additional bouts expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
