Uncrowned is providing live results, round-by-round updates, highlights, and start times for the Misfits Boxing event happening Saturday night at the James L. Knight Center in Miami, Florida. The main event features Olympic gold medalist and former two-division UFC champion Henry Cejudo making his professional boxing debut against undefeated prospect and actor Javon Walton, marking Misfits Boxing’s return to Miami.
At 39 years old, Cejudo brings a decorated combat sports background into the ring. He earned an Olympic gold medal in wrestling and won UFC titles in both the flyweight and bantamweight divisions before retiring from MMA for the second time in late 2025. Since then, he has stayed active in Real American Freestyle wrestling, but this fight represents his first official professional boxing match.
Walton, aged 20, stepped in on short notice after Cejudo’s initial opponent, Misfits veteran Deen The Great, withdrew with an injury. Outside the ring, Walton is known for his role as Ashtray on HBO’s “Euphoria,” but he is also an experienced amateur boxer with a 3-0-1 professional record (including one knockout). He last fought in September 2025, winning a unanimous decision against Anthony Mora.
The Cejudo vs. Walton bout is scheduled for 6 p.m. ET and will be streamed live on DAZN. The co-main event features former UFC interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson defending his Misfits Boxing middleweight title against Mahmoud Sebie, a fellow former Olympic wrestler who replaced Kenzo Biyong after travel issues forced Biyong’s withdrawal.
Stay tuned here for live coverage, results, and highlights from the full Misfits Boxing card, including round-by-round updates of the headline fight between Henry Cejudo and Javon Walton.
