Misfits Boxing is ready for its biggest event yet ahead of the Prime Card this weekend which sees KSI vs Tommy Fury and Logan Paul vs Dillon Danis in the ring. We’re taking a look through the 10 most controversial moments so far.
10 Most Controversial Misfits Boxing Moments
1. Dillon Danis vs Nina Agdal
Dillon Danis has plenty on the line when he meets Logan Paul in the boxing ring this weekend and it’s become a personal affair due to the former’s trolling on social media in the build-up to the fight.
Paul’s model fiancée Nina Agdal filed a lawsuit against Danis last month for ‘revenge porn’ according to court documents, stemming from what could be described as a smear campaign against the 31-year-old.
This included allegedly posting a ‘sexually explicit photograph’ of her that was taken without her consent. The suit also included a request for a temporary restraining order.
Due to Danis’ continued threats to release even more material, Agdal asked the court for over $150,000 in damages from the profits he has made on social media. This has become more than just influencer boxing.
I ain’t sayin this shit again. Hoe, you know what it is. It’s a warning shot before I blow up your whole spot. Call me bluffing; I release every fucking thing I got.

2. KSI’s controversial knockout win vs Joe Fournier
KSI’s win against Joe Fournier at Misfits Boxing 7 was overturned due to the finish being the result of an accidental forearm or elbow, instead of a legal punch.
The official decision became a no-contest. The YouTuber dropped Fournier in the second round and the latter was unable to beat the referee’s count, but replays showed he was floored by an accidental elbow.
Afterwards, Fournier vowed to officially contest the result and Jake Paul also called for KSI to be disqualified.

4. Dillon Danis slaps KSI and throws a drink in his face
Danis and KSI were supposed to fight at Wembley earlier this year, but the MMA fighter backed out a week before the bout was scheduled to take place – citing he was underprepared and struggling with weight.

5. John Fury loses it and flips table at Tommy’s press conference

6. OnlyFans star Elle Brooke is willingly choked out by Dillon Danis
It was a familiar scene for Elle Brooke being choked out, but this time it was in the public eye when she crossed paths with Danis at the Misfits open workout.
The adult content creator and boxing champion had a strange request for Danis, asking him to put her to sleep. He obliged, which left Brooke with a feeling that was ‘better than drugs.’

8. Alex Stein banned from Misfits Boxing after throwing hotdogs at Muslim opponent
Alex Stein and Mo Deen were set to lock horns at Misfits 008 before the clash was cancelled due to an insensitive and disrespectful incident at a press conference.
Stein, who is known as an American right-wing YouTube personality, threw hotdogs at Deen, a practicing Muslim, and was quoted saying, “You like pork, right?”
He later claimed that the hotdogs he threw were actually made of turkey, but it didn’t matter and he can now consider his boxing career done and dusted.
