Tony Ferguson is aiming for a comeback in December after extending his perfect record to 3-0 under the Misfits Boxing promotion. Despite a somewhat unusual bout, Ferguson clinched a knockout victory against Mahmoud Sebie in Miami, Florida, on Saturday. After taking some hard shots early on, “El Cucuy” bounced back with a powerful combination that forced the referee to stop the fight. With two stoppage wins in a row, Ferguson has clearly found his rhythm in the Misfits Boxing ring.
Determined to remain active and challenge himself as his combat career progresses, Ferguson, now 42, is eager to find a new opponent and is targeting a three-month turnaround if the right matchup is available. “I’m willing to fight anyone,” Ferguson said post-fight. “Mams [Taylor] and I will discuss it and make it happen. I want to secure another victory this year, so maybe December is the time.”
Fighting inevitably takes a toll on the body, especially as athletes age, but Ferguson appears to have avoided significant injuries in this bout, making his December return a realistic goal. “Honestly, this sport is incredible. I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect and was pretty nervous, but I walked out of there with no injuries. I know what needs fixing from head to toe, and I’m ready. Misfits Boxing,” he remarked.
