What is Misfits boxing?
Misfits boxing is crossover sport that allows people from varying disciplines to battle it out in the ring.
The invention of the sport was spurred by events such as when Conor McGregor fought Floyd Mayweather in 2017.
Due to the popularity of both celebrities in their own sports, it spurred huge interest in the much anticipated bout.
It ended being one of the most lucrative sports events in history.
When Misfits was created it was underlined that this platform was not to arrange fights between non-boxers and ex-champions, such as Logan Paul vs Floyd Mayweather, as it was felt that these exhibition events were so obviously fake.
Kalle Sauerland told TalkSport “The idea is not to make KSI, or whoever is in this stable, fight against Floyd Mayweather or [former world champion] Carl Froch or all these fights which are so clearly fakes.
“They’re fakes. I haven’t even watched the [Mayweather vs Logan] fight – not interested.
“But if a young man or woman is prepared to go through the grit and mill to become a professional boxer – and at the same time that brings eyeballs to our sport because they happen to have a profile – it doesn’t matter to me if he’s a milkman or a YouTuber with 30 million subscribers, that is something that we do.”
