Headlining a stacked Misfits Boxing card at London's Copper Box Arena on Saturday 10th October, the two fighters will put their unbeaten records on the line in what promises to be an absorbing bill-topping affair.

However, Daniel O’Reilly -- more commonly know as Dapper Laughs -- has vowed another early finish after marking his debut with a devastating one-minute knockout success against Simple Simon three years ago.

The action, which also features a undercard, takes place on Saturday night, however before then, crossover boxing fans have all the drama of fight week to look forward to.
