Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis undercard and full Misfits fight card including KSI
Logan Paul and Dillon Danis will settle their rivalry in Manchester tonight when the meet in the boxing ring.
The build-up to their bout has been almost completely one-sided with Danis trolling Paul's fiancee Nina Agdal almost from the moment the fight was announced. Many fans and pundits questioned whether Danis, who is making his boxing debut, would turn up but he made weight yesterday and looks set to make the walk to the ring.
But before he and Paul do so, there is plenty of action on the undercard with Misfits Boxing packing their 'Prime card' with an abundance of influencer talent - not forgetting the top of the bill clash between YouTuber KSI and Tommy Fury, brother of heavyweight world champion Tyson. Here, we run you through what to expect tonight...
KSI vs Tommy Fury
KSI made his boxing debut in 2018 when he defeated Joe Weller. His professional record is 1-0 but overall he holds a record of 5-0-1 (and 1 NC). Tommy Fury has been boxing since his childhood, and is 9-0 as a professional with four KOs on his record. He is believed to have had around 12 amateur fights though that exact number is unconfirmed.
The entirety of this feud comes down to one man who won't even be in the ring tonight; Jake Paul. He is the reason KSI came back to boxing in the first place, vowing to be the one to rid boxing of the younger Paul brother. But that plan came to a halt when Jake was beaten by Tommy Fury in February of this year.

All of a sudden, the entire KSI comeback seemed to be in vain, until talks for a fight between the two broke down and he decided to pursue the man who defeated him.
Salt Papi vs Slim Albaher
For a long time, it looked as though this fight wouldn’t happen. The small council ordered that Slim would fight Salt Papi for the belt, but their disputes over pay meant that the fight initially fell apart. Instead, Papi was going to fight Blueface, but when the rapper was stabbed in his gym that fell by the wayside, a number of other opponents were touted, including an Anthony Taylor rematch.
But Slim was brought back into the fold, and offered the proper fee, meaning the fight has gone forward. There is no feud between these two - In fact, they’re friends who have recorded TikTok dances together, but they are considered two of the better boxers at their size, and this is going to be one of the better fights on this show.
Deen the Great vs Walid Sharks
Aside from KSI and Jake Paul, Deen The Great vs Walid. Sharks is the greatest rivalry in influencer boxing. These two hate each other. They destroyed press conference tables at 005 and almost went at each other when they were on the same team at 008. Their fight at 003 was considered one of the greatest fights in Misfits history.
And fans have been clamouring for the rematch ever since. They are both considered to have the best technical boxers in the scene. If Walid wins, expect there to be a trilogy given the feud between these two men.
King Kenny vs Anthony Taylor
When the Kingpyn tournament, and his finals match-up with AnEsonGib, fell apart, King Kenny returned to Misfits a much bigger star than the one who had lost to Ashley from Rak-Su at Misfits 005. A complete performance against Whindersson Nunes has made him favourite over MMA veteran Taylor.
But the American did just comfortably beat Salt Papi and has years of fighting experience on his opponent. It will be a battle of resilience for both men in this one, after an exciting build-up with lots of trash talking.
Whindersson Nunes vs My Mate Nate
Comedian Whindersson Nunes may just be the biggest star on this entire card, including KSI and Logan Paul. His following is considerably bigger than both of theirs based mainly in Brazil, and would compete with their combined numbers amid his career as a Netflix star, influencer and musician.
He faces Thai influencer My Mate Nate, with both of their last fights coming in the Kingpyn tournament against King Kenny. The Brit knocked out Nate in the quarter-finals before an all-time great performance against Nunes, so it will be interesting to see how this fight plays out.
Alex Wassabi & NichLmao vs Luis Alcaraz Pineda & BDave - tag-team match
The feud between BDave and NichLmao may finally be settled tonight if the pair end up in the ring together as part of this second ever Misfits Boxing tag team match. They beefed before Misfits 008 when they headlined in Nashville's Elimination Tag bout, but will have more chances tonight in Manchester to get their hands on each other.

However the addition of Alex Wassabi, a great Misfits villain after pulling out of his fight with KSI last summer and working with Jake Paul, adds a different dimension to this fight. And Luis Pineda, a legitimate journeyman boxer with amateur pedigree, will be a massive step-up for the two YouTubers.
Swarmz vs Ed Matthews
Rapper Swarmz was due to fight Ryan Taylor in an hotly-anticipated rematch of their Misfits 004 bout, which ended with just one punch when he hit his rival with just one punch that shattered his orbital. However, when Taylor was ruled out due to being arrested days out from the bout, Tik Tok star Matthews stepped in.
The controversial Brit was last out on the Kingpyn quarter-finals when he was stopped by Blueface after a vicious war. He has since been feuding with Irishman Ben Williams, but leapt at the chance to finally make his Misfits Boxing debut.
Astrid Wett vs Alexia Grace
Astrid Wett weighs in before fighting Alexia Grace (PA)After nearly a year of feuding in all sorts of different settings, Alexia Grace and Astrid Wett finally do battle tonight in yet another Misfits title fight.Astrid Wett has been boxing since the beginning of 2022 and is 2-0 with 1KO. Alexia Grace has never boxed before, becoming one of three debutants on the Prime Card (S-X and Dillon Danis the others).
When they couldn’t get a deal done with Misfits to settle the feud during the year, Astrid decided to put on Wett Promotions, where she was due to fight Grace on a free YouTube stream. Over 1.1million viewers tuned in for the one-fight event, but with seconds to go until their ring walks, the pair got into an altercation that saw Astrid Wett sent through a table, WWE-style.
S-X vs DTG
S-X is one of three debuting fighters on the Prime Card (Alexia Grace and Dillon Danis the others). DTG has been boxing since September of 2022 when he was called up to fight Halal Ham on Misfits 002, and promises a new fighter from the man who went 0-1 that October night.
There is minimal backstory to this fight. It’s a battle of rappers, but the pair’s build-up has been understated and both men insist that they have never had a beef with one another.
Chase DeMoor vs Tempo Arts
The story of this Misfits heavyweight title fight is primarily based around each man’s personal journey. DeMoor has been on a year-long quest to prove himself in the boxing ring after some embarrassing showings early, but he's opposite the plucky underdog Tempo Arts.
The massive American is in tremendous shape while the Brit is still on his weight loss journey. DeMoor has clearly taken the spot as heel for this fight, and regularly mocks his opponent through Twitter and other social media, but should be favoured in this fight as he looks for his first win.
