Round 1 – Frantic start to the fight as both come out swinging and not really knowing what they’re doing.

Looked as though Simpson could have been in trouble but he got his composure back a bit and did land a decent jab on Aarons.

Can’t keep that pace for four rounds though.

All comes down to this, with both making their boxing debuts.

Jay Swingler returns!

YouTuber Jay Swingler will make his return to Misfits Boxing.

He came out to a WWE style entrance to confirm his comeback and rematch with NichLMAO.

The two then had a little tussle in the ring – one of many ones tonight. Never gets boring apparently.

Crowd control

TikToker HS Ticky Tocky got himself into a fight… after the fight!

He clashed with a fan in the crowd, spitting at them and throwing a punch before trying to throw a chair.

Luckily security stepped in just in time.

He was too strong for Silva and had him hurt on multiple occasions, dropping him with a big right hand.

Silva looked exhausted as the ref jumped in to end it.

Big right hand and Silva is DOWN! He makes it to his feet but Taylor keeps up the pressure and the fight is over! Ref stops it.

Round 2 – Getting messy here with Taylor flying in and just grabbing whenever something comes back his way.

Silva lands a counter right uppercut but he’s getting frustrated with the holding.

The action does start to hot up then cools down with a succession of holding.

Taylor vs Silva

Round 1 – Taylor comes out swinging with shots over the top, looking for the body too.

Silva is trying to box and move on the back foot but Taylor is not giving him time to breathe.

Effective tactic but exhausting. Let’s see if he can keep it up.

Back underway

After a fairly long wait Gabe Silva is on his way to the ring.

His dad Anderson is considered one of MMA’s greatest and even boxed to defeat to Jake Paul.

Taylor had a career in MMA before moving to Misfits Boxing and has been one of their standouts.

HS calls out Rooney and Jake Paul

He said: “I’m coming for f***ing every influencer in this scene.

“Jake Paul can get smoked. Zherka can get smoked. “Everyone can get f***ing smoked… Wayne Rooney can f***ing get it.”

Silva lining

Moving on and hopefully some proper boxing next.

Gabe Silva – son of the legendary UFC champion Anderson – takes on Anthony Taylor.

It has been bubbling for a while now and there’s a lot on the line here, including Taylor’s Misfits belt.

HS Ticky Tocky vs George Fensom

Not quite as brutal as feared but Fensom is down three times and beaten in round one.

Fensom took the chance to hit the deck as quickly as he could and thankfully that’s a rather safe finish.

Pointless exercise for HS and Fensom in honesty.

This fight could get ugly.

There is clearly a huge weight, size and skill disparity.

Prayers go out to Fensom…

Weight to go

Danny Aarons has gone from overweight gamer to the next KSI of Misfits Boxing with a sensational life turnaround.

Aarons was over 17 STONE while rising to fame on YouTube playing FIFA video games.

But amid the rise of celebrity-style crossover bout with Misfits Boxing, the 22-year-old fancied getting in on the action.

He now makes his debut on Saturday night in a headline fight against Premier League winner Danny Simpson in Dublin.

Fatherly glove

Danny Simpson has two daughters, Skye, 13, and Vienna, four.

His eldest Skye knows full well who his social media sensation opponent Aarons is – but he does not want either watching the fight.

Simpson said: “I don’t want them to watch.

“Watching your dad have a a fight, you know it’s not ideal when they’re used to watching me playing football forever.

“Especially Skye knows Danny Aarons and the world. But they’re supportive and just told me to do my best.”

HS Ticky Tocky vs George Fensom

Up next is controversial TikToker HS Ticky Tocky vs Love Island’s George Fensom.

HS comes with a huge online following and divides audiences with his provocative content.

Fensom meanwhile, sadly, looks like he’s never boxed a day in his life. Could be an ugly one this.

Williams vs Spencer

Victor Williams says he is open to a rematch if the money is right and admits Spencer is better than he thought.

Williams calls out British YouTuber Jarvis – who holds some kind of Misfits belt.

Misfits Boxing chief Mams Taylor also admits the fight was wronglly stopped and calls out the “atrocious refereeing”.

He also confirms the rematch will be next.

Williams vs Spencer

Spencer and his corner fume at the decision and no wonder.

He was on the corner with Williams throwing shots but nothing looked to be landing clean.

Spencer argues the decision and will no doubt demand a rematch.
