Tony Ferguson Set for Misfits Boxing Title Defense in Miami
Former UFC standout Tony Ferguson has his next boxing match confirmed, and it will be a championship defense under the Misfits Boxing promotion. The organization announced that "El Cucuy" is scheduled to compete against Kenzo Biyong at the James L. Knight Center in Miami on September 26th. Ferguson's MF middleweight title will be on the line.
Ferguson initially captured the interim title in 2025 with a third-round TKO victory over Salt Papi. He was later elevated to full champion status after defeating Warren Spencer, making this his first defense of the belt.
Ferguson has found considerable success under the Misfits banner, boasting a 2-0 record with the promotion. His move into influencer boxing has proven to be much smoother than the latter part of his UFC career, where he endured an eight-fight losing streak before his departure.
Despite some suggestions for him to retire, the 42-year-old veteran remains active and is aiming for his third consecutive win. His upcoming opponent, Biyong, is a former professional soccer player looking to make his mark in combat sports. Facing an experienced fighter like Ferguson presents a significant challenge for Biyong.
Ferguson recently shared insights into the difficulties he faced during his UFC losing streak, revealing that simultaneous leg injuries and mental stress made even basic daily activities painful. He elaborated on the circumstances surrounding his fights during the pandemic, including his preparation for the bout against Justin Gaethje, and the unexpected changes in opponents that affected his physical and mental state.
