Misfits Boxing has taken the boxing world by storm.
Started by YouTuber KSI, it’s become a bit of a phenomenon.
Not only have they hosted bouts with famous YouTubers, but they’ve gotten a number of other celebrities on their cards.
Le’Veon Andrew Bell Sr., a former NFL star, Paige VanZant, an MMA fighter, and Idris Virgo, an actual professional boxer, are some of the names who have fought on Misfits Boxing PPV events.
It’s even been rumoured that Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney has been in discussions to be featured in a bout for the promotion.

One former Manchester United man has made his debut for Misfits Boxing and had his first fight last night.
Danny Simpson came through the youth team at Old Trafford and made his debut for the Red Devils in 2006 under Sir Alex Ferguson.
Simpson went on to have a respectable career in the game and won an English Premier League medal when Leicester City won the league in 2016.
Last night, Simpson swapped his football boots for some boxing gloves when he took on YouTuber Danny Aarons in Dublin.
The fight had an interesting stipulation.
If Simpson lost, he’d have to hand over his English Premier League winners medal.
Whereas Aarons had his Gold YouTube Subscriber plaque on the line.

The two competitors put on quite a spectacle.
Fans were enjoying both men going gung-ho and all out for the victory.
Simpson looked a bit wobbly towards the end of the fight, but both men managed to hear the final bell and hugged as they awaited the judges decision.
In an interesting twist, the judges scored the fight a draw.
One judge scored the fight 38-38, while the other two cards read 39-37, one in each boxer’s favour.
Danny Simpson mentioned after the fight that he thought he’d done enough to win and looked disappointed at the final decision.
At least the former United defender will be able to hold on to his medal for a little while longer.
