The Misfits Boxing promotion didn’t take Thanksgiving off as the group continues carving a niche for itself. The card in Qatar featured nine bouts showcasing some of the world’s most popular influencers.
AnEson Gib won the Misfits Middleweight title by eking out a majority decision win over Slim in the main event. Gib’s rivalry with Misfits head KSI has hit another level, as the latter openly doubted the former’s ability to secure the win.
The fight wasn’t spectacular, but Gib did enough to win and claim the promotion’s title.
The card featured four KO/TKO finishes.
Super Salt Papi seasoned King Kenny with a nasty uppercut on a counter shot that sent his rival spiraling into the corner. The shot was so clean it appeared to freeze Kenny momentarily before leaving him dangling from the top rope. Here is a look at the KO.
Another memorable KO came from Deji, who scored a surprising third-round KO of Dawood Savage. Deji looked listless through the first two rounds before finding a spark in the third.
A wild missed uppercut set up an awkward but effective straight right hand that dropped Savage. Shortly after, Deji dropped Savage again with another right hand that led to the end of the fight.
In another finish, Jarvis was battering Ben Williams before the latter stayed down on the canvas following a nasty flurry. Williams was officially finished by TKO due to an injury, but considering the beating he was taking, the loss seemed more attributable to punches than anything involving his lower body.
Here is a look at all of the results from the card:
- AnEson Gib def. Slim Albaher via majority decision
- Super Salt Papi def. King Kenny via TKO (R3, 0:40)

Major Announcement
In a surprising twist, KSI announced that HSTikkyTokky would face Wade Plem in a boxing match. Expect that fight to headline a future card. The next scheduled event for Misfits Boxing is set for January 18 in Manchester.
Tommy Fury, the brother of Tyson Fury and the only man to defeat Jake Paul will take on former UFC welterweight championship challenger Darren Till. The fight is a boxing match and the latest in the crossover business.
Till has looked to be in less-than-ideal fighting shape, but he has a little over two months to get his body and mind in order. Expect Fury to be a favorite because of his experience in boxing, and he has looked to be more fit for a fight.
The event will be sponsored by Prime, Stake and Kick and it takes place at Co-Op Live.
