Jay Swingler, British YouTuber and one half of TGF, has confirmed he will be headlining Misfits Boxing’s next event with a bout versus Nicholai Perret.
Misfits 004 may have only just wrapped – seeing KSI breeze past FaZe Temperrr with a first round KO – but its sequel event is already set up to be a doozy.
The Misfits Boxing brand, part owned by KSI himself, recently signed a long-term deal with DAZN.
It has now been confirmed that Misfits 005 will take place in Milton Keynes, England on February 25.
