Dillon Danis<\/a> will compete in a MMA bout in Misfits Boxing when he faces debutant Warren Spencer at the upcoming card in Manchester, England on Aug. 30, the promotion announced.<\/p>\n

The Misfits MMA light heavyweight title will be on the line, although the match will be contested at 170 pounds.<\/p>\n

Danis entered the boxing ring once under the Misfits banner in 2023, losing in bizarre fashion during an exhibition match with Logan Paul<\/a>. Two planned Misfits boxing matches with KSI<\/a> never came to fruition.<\/p>\n

Spencer will make his first walk to a MMA bout when he faces Danis. He has boxed twice inside the Misfits ring, winning a majority decision over Nicholai Perrett in his most recent appearance in late 2024, and then scored a first-round knockout over Muganzi Hakim in a pro boxing match in Dubai this past April.<\/p>\n

The event will be headlined by Darren Till<\/a> versus ex-UFC champion Luke Rockhold<\/a> for the bridgerweight title in boxing, while Tony \u201cEl Cucuy\u201d Ferguson faces off influencer boxing star Salt Papi<\/a> in an interim middleweight title bout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dillon Danis will compete in a MMA bout in Misfits Boxing when he faces debutant Warren Spencer at…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11256,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[1929,64,63,802,1920,13209,13208,1913,786,580,585,1347,13210,785,85,8821,319],"class_list":["post-11255","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-at","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-boxing-news","tag-danis","tag-dillon","tag-fight","tag-fighting","tag-for","tag-front-page","tag-latest-news","tag-misfits","tag-mma","tag-sports","tag-title","tag-to"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11255","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11255"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11255\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11256"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11255"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11255"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
