LIVE! Misfits Boxing 17 Streaming, Play-By-Play Updates

Soccer (football) star Danny Simpson makes his boxing debut today along with two Misfits championship bouts

Good day to all of you combat sports fans lusting for something to watch this weekend. Misfits 17 is the thing and we’re covering it here. It does goes down tonight, August 31, 2024, from inside the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland, beginning at 1:00 pm ET / 10:00 am PT / 6:00 pm BST. It’s available live on DAZN for $39.99.

With pre-fight brawls, slaps, and cringe trash talk, Misfits 17 has gotten closer to a Russian reality TV show than a standard boxing card, but it’s always a bunch of people trying to hype stuff up anyway, so what else is new, right? Youtubers and TikTokers gonna influence.

Now, a lot of us here who frequent MMA Mania (and the author) are from the American side of the pond and aren’t very familiar with some of these fellas. Keep in mind that Misfits is a promotion run by British folks (KSI, Mams Taylor, Nisse and Kalle Sunderland) so having a name soccer player in Danny Simpson is a big deal for the influencer boxing scene. Simpson was a key defensive part of the Premier League winning Leicester City squad from 2016 and is very much a household name in that part of the world.

Elsewhere on the card, we have Misfits regulars and title-holders, Anthony Taylor and Deen the Great, taking on fresh challengers. In Taylor’s case, it’s a name very familiar to the crowd here, as it is MMA legend Anderson Silva’s son, Gabriel Silva, getting his first crack at gold.
