Overview
- Tony Ferguson defended the Misfits Boxing middleweight title by TKO at 0:42 of Round 2 after a co‑main event finish at the Miami card on Sept. 26.
- Mahmoud Sebie took the fight on roughly four days’ notice after original opponent Kenzo Biyong withdrew with travel issues.
- The bout featured a late first‑round knockdown by Ferguson, an early second‑round moment where Sebie briefly rocked Ferguson, and then Ferguson trapped Sebie and forced the referee to stop the fight.
- Viral video clips showing stretches where Sebie appeared disengaged led fans and media figures to call for an investigation, but no regulator or promoter has opened a formal probe and the official result stands.
- Austin McBroom briefly entered the ring to call out Ferguson after the fight and Ferguson said he wants another bout in December, underscoring how Misfits Boxing’s fast matchmaking and crossover casting shape both the sport and its controversies.
