Tony Ferguson Sets Misfits Interim Title Defense Against Warren Spencer in Dubai

The matchup replaces the teased unification with AnEsonGib, reflecting Misfits’ choice to stage a defense rather than consolidate the belt.

Overview

  • Ferguson vs. Spencer is scheduled for Dec. 20 at the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Stadium on Misfits’ “The Fight Before Christmas” card.
  • Ferguson captured the interim middleweight title with an August TKO of Salt Papi, ending an eight-fight skid and securing his first win since 2019.
  • Spencer is 1-0 under pro boxing rules but was submitted by Dillon Danis in 15 seconds in Misfits’ inaugural MMA bout.
  • The event also features Andrew Tate vs. Chase DeMoor in the main event and Dillon Danis vs. Anthony Taylor in a Misfits rules MMA fight.
  • Reaction to the booking has been skeptical, with questions about Spencer’s credentials and about postponing a unification with AnEsonGib.
