Misfits Boxing 12 fight card and undercard including Elle Brooke vs AJ Bunker
Misfits Boxing is back for the first time this year tonight as the promotion hosts an event stacked with social media stars in Leeds.
It marks the first time Misfits have visited Leeds since they were founded in August 2022, with tonight's fights taking place at the First Direct Arena. Topping the bill is a women's middleweight title fight between former Love Island contestant AJ Bunker and OnlyFans star Elle Brooke.
The card will also feature 'Not Logan Paul', the content creator who was choked out by UFC legend Nate Diaz in a street brawl last year. X Factor winners Ashley Tebi and Myles Stevenson from the group Rak-Su are both fighting, with several other influencers making their debuts. So here's all you need to know about tonight's fights...
Andrea-Jane Bunker vs. Elle Brooke
Brooke beat Bunker when they fought 18-months ago at the inaugural Kingpyn 'Settling Scores' event in July 2022. Bunker took that fight on short notice after Brooke's longtime rival Astrid Wett pulled out of the fight. Brooke makes her Misfits Boxing return for the first time in a year.
Ashley Tebi vs OJ Rose
Arguably the best fight of the entire card will see X Factor winner Tebi fight American influencer Rose. Tebi is unbeaten since losing to MMA fighter Anthony 'Pretty Boy' Taylor in his debut with back-to-back wins against King Kenny and Halal Ham. Rose beat Baby Slice Jr last April but was defeated by Anderson Silva's son Gabriel last November.

Tristan Hamm vs. 'Not Logan Paul'
Rodney Petersen is mostly known as 'Not Logan Paul' because of his close resemblance to the YouTube superstar. Petersen is by no means new to combat sports with 25 MMA fights under his belt, making his debut 15 years ago and boasting a record of 11-13, 1 NC. Petersen looks to break a seven-fight losing skid against Hamm, who is fighting for the first time tonight.

Inspired by his childhood friend Tebi, Stevenson is making his boxing debut tonight against familiar face DTG. Stevenson is fighting in honour of his young son Shiloh, who was diagnosed with hemiplegic cerebral palsy after having a stroke. DTG picked up his first boxing win on the Prime card last October by stopping fellow rapper S-X in the first round.
Small Spartan Jay vs. Fox Townley
Jay Chris, who is referred to as Small Spartan Jay, is a professional calisthenic athlete who is unbeaten in the influencer boxing scene. He made his Misfits debut last September in Newcastle by edging past Pully Arif in a back-and-forth fight. Townley has been in the Misfits scene since the beginning but this will be his first time in the ring tonight.
Ben Williams vs. Fes Batista
Williams is a popular Irish TikTok influencer who has previously fought on Kingpyn and Crypto Fight Night. Batista has labelled himself the 'first influencer boxer' having been apart of the WBC's anti-bullying campaign for over a decade. Williams and Batista have been butting heads for weeks in the build-up to the fight, with the Irishman frequently mocking his rival's love for Lady Gaga.
Joey Knight vs. Most Wanted
Knight has a considerable amount of amateur experience and he is crossing over to influencer boxing against fellow debutant Most Wanted, a well known user on the Misfits Boxing Twitter community. The opponents have been butting heads about who will take the first back step in their fight and we will found out tonight.
Chase DeMoor vs. Malcolm Minikon
DeMoor is yet to have his hand raised in the ring and was 'banned' from boxing last year after repeatedly punching his opponent Stevie Knight after dropping him. DeMoor has since lost to UFC veteran Alan Belcher and Tempo Arts as he looks to get his first win against former friend turned rival Minikon.
