Overview

• Chase DeMoor retained the Misfits heavyweight title with a second-round TKO after a ringside doctor halted the bout when an uppercut split Natan Marcon’s lip at Manchester’s AO Arena.
• Marcon rushed across the ring to swing at DeMoor after the stoppage, but security intervened before further damage was done.
• A separate backstage fight later broke out with Marcon confronting Rahim Pardesi, as entourages traded punches and threw items including stanchions and dustpans.
• Marcon disputed the ruling on X, arguing a championship fight should not be stopped for a cut lip and insisting he did not truly lose.
• The result extends DeMoor’s winning run and caps a heated build-up that included Marcon throwing an egg at him during a face-to-face earlier in the week.
