Cherdleys vs Jay Swingler recap
There isn’t too much to say about the main event fight, unfortunately. It was a one-sided shellacking at the hand of Jay Swingler.
Cherdleys gave it his all, but his all couldn’t compete with Swingler’s advantages in physical strength, technique and speed.
Cherdleys didn’t land a solid punch through the entirety of the just-over minute long match.
Slim Albaher vs Ryan Taylor recap
Albaher vs Taylor was the best and closest match of the evening. Both fighters gave their absolute best and went the full distance, with Slim Albaher coming out on top after four rounds.
JMX vs Ginty recap
What looked like a one-sided mismatch on paper was surprisingly close in practice. Ginty was a last-minute substitute fighter put in the ring against a much more experienced boxer.
Despite a first round knockout, Ginty couldn’t make his early advantage count and JMX’s power told, ultimately winning via KO. After the fight, JMX took the opportunity to set up future fights, calling out FaZe Temperrr and Logan Paul.

Astrid Wett vs Keeley recap
This was yet another mismatch. Keeley Colbran’s offensive style left her wide open defensively, and Wett’s talent ultimately told, taking home the victory when her opponent threw in the towel.
Despite some acrimony in the build up to the fight, Colbran congratulated her competitor after the fight’s conclusion.
Anthony Taylor vs Ashley Rak-Su recap
Taylor versus Rak-Su saw the night’s quickest knockdown, with Rak-Su dropped to the canvas after just three seconds.
The fight cooled down from there, with both competitors trading blows to the point of exhaustion. After going the distance, Taylor was determined the winner and took the opportunity post-fight to call out KSI, who was in attendance in Sheffield.
Halal Ham vs DTG recap
A high octane start in Ham versus DTG resulted in both fighters quickly running out of energy. As a result, later rounds were low on quality and action, but Ham came out on top via unanimous decision.
Despite it being a sweep according to the judges’ scores, Ham looked pretty surprised to come out on top.
This bombastic influencer-boxing event came just ahead of Jake Paul’s upcoming match against MMA legend Anderson Silva later this month on the 29, as well as Deji’s exhibition against Floyd Mayweather in November.
Given the event’s popularity, we’re bound to see more Misfits events in the future.
