The first ever Misfits Boxing event was held at The O2 Arena on Saturday, 27th August 2022. The boxing promotional company was actually launched in July 2022, with the first even the following month.

The first event, MF & DAZN: X Series 001, saw KSI feature as the headline attraction, with a whole host of social media stars, YouTubers and influencers featuring on the undercard. The event was billed ‘2 Fights 1 Night’ as KSI fought against two different opponents.
