The first Misfits Boxing 22 faceoff between former UFC stars Darren Till and Luke Rockhold was as intense as you’d expect. Tony Ferguson, on the other hand, was cool as a cucumber.<\/p>\n

Misfits Boxing 22 takes place Aug. 30 at AO Arena in Manchester, England, and for the first time the main and co-main event fighters came together for a press conference Wednesday. Afterward, they faced off.<\/p>\n

In short, Till and Rockhold simply could not keep their hands off each other and had to be separated by security. The faceoff between Ferguson and Salt Papi right before that was chill.<\/p>\n

Till, a former UFC welterweight title challenger, is 2-0 in two boxing matches this year. Rockhold, a former UFC middleweight champion, will make his boxing debut against Till after competing for BKFC in 2023 and Karate Combat in 2024.<\/p>\n

Ferguson, 41, parted ways with the UFC<\/a> after a submission loss to Michael Chiesa<\/a> in August 2024, his record eighth loss in a row. Ferguson was briefly contracted to the quickly-evaporated GFL and had been announced to fight vs. Dillon Danis for the promotion. Ferguson’s fight with Salt Papi will be his boxing debut.<\/p>\n
