Is an upset on the cards?
The judges will have to tell us.
Brooke vs Savage – Round Four
Well, the pendulum is swinging in this contest.
Savage landed early in the fourth round and is taking this fight to Elle now.
Brooke is looking leg-weary too, and isn’t as vibrant as she was early doors.
One last round.
Brooke vs Savage Round Three
Brooke is working with her body shots, but switches it up and offers a left hook that catches Savage.
She nails that shot again to rock the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship fighter.
However, Savage bites back.
This isn’t over.
Brooke vs Savage – Round Two
The champion begins to take control of matters, she is dictating this fight.
Savage will look to counter, but appears happy to let Brooke do all the work.
A good body shot, as well as a fierce right to the middle see Brooke probably win that round.
Brooke vs Savage – Round One
Brooke is taking this fight to Savage and is refusing to sit back.
Savage’s strategy is the opposite, as she invites Brooke on to her.
But Brooke doesn’t seem to be connecting with too many punches.
And it’ s the main event next
It’s what we’ve been waiting for.
Elle Brooke takes on Jenny Savage in the main event. It promises to be an epic encounter.
Stay tuned for round by round updates.

There were moments where Henderson tried to take it to Virgo.
The judges scored it 49-47, 48-47 and 49-46 in Virgo’s favour.
Henderson vs Virgo underway
It’s the penultimate fight, and it’s seconds out.
It’s the light heavyweight final.
Don’t forget Henderson’s already fought five rounds tonight – has he got anything left in him to win another fight?
Slim vs Gib
It’s on…
Who’s your money on?
This promises to be a huge night for Misfits Boxing.
Huge announcement
Slim and Gib will fight, which is rather dramatically announced.
The pair square off against each other in the ring, which of course means they have to shove each other.
We won’t know when this will happen, but look forward to it coming to a Misfits Boxing event near you.
Poca beats Pittman via UD
Well, was there any need?
Anyone could have seen this one, no matter a professional judge.
For what it’s worth, it was scored 50-44 in the champion Poca’s favour.
Will she and Elle Brooke have another crack at one another?
Lil CraCra beats Joey Knight by UD
The judges scored it 48-47, 49-46 and 48-47 in CraCra’s favour.
Tears will be shed, no doubt.
It was a sweeping victory. Knight really didn’t have an answer, and it looked like he needed a stoppage in the fifth round.
Three fights left. Next, it’s cruiserweight champ Jully Poca taking on Crystal Pittman.
And who this?
For our next fight, we’re looking forward to Joey Knight vs Lil CraCra.
Will it be a Knight to remember for Joey?
Or can we expect tears from CraCra? Clue might be in the name.
Bowden beats Stokey via UD
Well that will silence the doubters and Stokey.
Local idol Bowden has beaten his foe, according to the judges’ cards.
It was scrappy, there wasn’t much in it, but it’s been called.
Penny for Mams’ thoughts once again. You know he’ll give them to us.
Mams isn’t having it
Ashley Rak-Su might have been judged the winner against Tristan Hamm, but Misfits Boxing promoter Mams Taylor isn’t having it.
Bitter rivalry to be settled
George Stokey and Lewis Bowden are next up on the card.
These two really despise one another, so expect it to get fairly before, during and after the bout.
You feel being a Geordie, Bowden will have plenty of local support.
Ashley Rak-Su beats Tristan Hamm via MD
Fifth round? What fifth round!
Ashley is the comfortable victor – with judges scoring the fight 38-38, 39-37 and 39-37.
Hamm started off well, but Rak-Su withstood an early barrage to hold firm.
He certainly does have the X Factor – pun intended.
Draaama
In the meantime, there’s a huge scuffle in the crowd.
Entrepreneur Amio Talio aims punches at TikToker Ben Knights.
Then he drags him out of his seat.
Great theatre from the Misfits Boxing 18 crew. Take a bow, producers.
Next up…
It’s Ashley Rak Su who will fancy himself against Tristan Hamm.
Four rounds planned – with a fifth if the scores are level needed.
Fun and games, eh.
As we said…
Hru’s face was a bloody mess!
But at least she’s found the funny side.
Here’s Jade’s moment
Carla Jade celebrates winning the lightweight belt!
She deserved that. From start to finish she dominated the fight.
Her height advantage played a huge role in this contest.
Jade beats Hru via UD
Absolutely no doubt about that.
Hru’s face was a bloody mess after five rounds, she was bossed around the ring by Jade.
The judges scored the bout 49-46, 49-46 and 48-47.
Jade is the new lightweight champion, as she told us she would be.
