KSI’s latest Misfits card will pit former MMA fighters Darren Till and Luke Rockhold against one another, but it was not just the main event fighters that erupted into chaos at the weigh-ins.
KSI has not fought since he lost to Tommy Fury in 2023. Despite not having fought himself, his promotional outfit, Misfits, continues to go from strength to strength, with its upcoming ‘The Ring of Thrones’ card set to be one of its biggest to date.
On the card, Darren Till will face Luke Rockhold, and Salt Papi will face Tony Ferguson. Joey Essex, who sparred Conor Benn in training, will make his debut, and Chase DeMoor, who called out Johnny Fisher, will make an appearance.
Though most of the action will take place on Saturday, the weigh-ins saw enough chaos.
Misfits weigh-in sees a stolen belt and multiple chaotic brawls
Though the main event fighters ended their weigh-in in a brawl, with Dillon Danis, who promises to ‘murder’ Warren Spencer, claiming to have knocked Luke Rockhold out, the undercard saw enough chaos of its own.
When it came time for Chase DeMoor’s opponent, Natan Marcon, to weigh-in, he went one step further, stealing the belt he was to fight for and running away with it.
In the weigh-in for Joey Essex’s fight, his opponent Numeiro turned up with a picture of Essex taped to the front of his underwear, before the pair engaged in a verbal exchange.
Even further down the card, Amadeusz Ferrari turned up on stage for the weigh-in for his fight with Rahim Pardesi with a dwarf by his side.
Ferrari picked up his companion whilst trash-talking Pardesi, before a fight broke out between the three of them.
All in all, the chaos is a testament to what fans can expect on Saturday night.
Darren Till could face one of two ‘Cobra’s next if he wins on Saturday
With Till headlining his third-ever Misfits show in a row, it seems the promotional outfit now have a new cash cow in the wake of KSI’s absence.
In a recent interview, Till spoke on who he may face next should he beat Rockhold on Saturday night.
While Till could aim to re-make the fight with Tommy Fury after Fury withdrew from their January bout, it seems his sights are set elsewhere, as there are two names that have floated around him.
Till could face Andrew ‘Cobra’ Tate, who is reportedly eyeing a Misfits debut, or another ‘Cobra’, Carl Froch, who Mams Taylor, the head of Misfits, hinted could be next.
Froch has turned down an offer to face Till before, but it’s possible the fight has since been made.
Taylor suggested all would be revealed on Saturday night.
