KSI's Misfits Boxing promotion has hit a roadblock as the Professional Boxing Association (PBA) suspends its licenses, citing concerns over boxer safety and clear rule violations.
In a recent statement, the PBA announced the suspension, attributing it to "clear violations of the PBA's rules and regulations," bringing boxing into disrepute, and, significantly, for the interest of boxer safety. This move comes just a week before the scheduled SERIES 012 card, putting the co-main event featuring Elle Brooke in jeopardy. Misfits Boxing, launched in June 2021, has showcased events with notable names like Tommy Fury, Elle Brooke, Logan Paul, and founder KSI. The promotion's licenses were suspended due to a pattern of issues, including a prior overturn of KSI's knockout win against Joe Fournier for an illegal elbow strike. In the aftermath of KSI's recent loss to Tommy Fury, where the result was changed due to scorecard errors, the PBA seems to have taken a firm stance on maintaining the integrity and safety of the sport. The suspension includes pending disciplinary hearings for the license holders. There has been no official statement from Misfits Boxing, but the PBA's decision adds uncertainty to the scheduled event at the First Direct Arena in Leeds on January 20, headlined by TikTok star Ed Matthews. Misfits Boxing's turbulent history, marked by rule violations and controversies, has seemingly caught up with them. The PBA's suspension underscores the importance of adhering to rules and ensuring the safety of the fighters in the ring. #MisfitsBoxing #KSISuspension #BoxingSafety #PBAAction
