Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) double champion, Henry Cejudo, made his boxing debut earlier tonight (Sat., Sept. 26, 2026) in the main event of the Misfits Boxing event that went down inside James L. Knight Center in Miami, Florida.
Initially set to face Deen The Great, Cejudo was matched up against actor and amateur boxer, Javon “Wanna” Walton as a replacement, who came in with an undefeated record of 3-0.
There was not a ton of action to speak of early, as it took Cejudo a bit to get going. The same went for Walton, which is unferstandable since he took the fight on short notice.
It was evident that Walton was going to have the speed advantage early on., and he used that to get in and out and tag the Olympic gold medal winner. But his success didn’t last as it was Cejudo who started to take control and dictate the pace of the fight. After four rounds of action, “Triple C” had done enough to earn a razor thin split-decision win.
Check out some of the highlights below:
Cejudo looked pretty good in his boxing debut, and it seems as if it’s something that he could commit to for the forseeable future, especially if he can re-book his fight against Deen The Great.
Just dont expect Zuffa Boxing to come calling anytine soon.
