Tony Ferguson is set to defend his interim middleweight title in a high-profile boxing match in Dubai. The former UFC interim lightweight champion will face Warren Spencer in a featured bout on the Misfits Boxing card, scheduled for December 20th. This will be Ferguson's second boxing match under the Misfits banner, following his impressive debut where he defeated Salt Papi via third-round TKO to win the interim middleweight title. The fight marks a significant step for Ferguson, who is looking to bounce back from a challenging period in his career, having endured eight consecutive losses in the UFC before transitioning to boxing. Meanwhile, Warren Spencer, who made his MMA debut in August, suffered a submission loss to Dillon Danis just 15 seconds into the opening round. Spencer now returns to boxing after a successful run in Misfits, aiming to build on his back-to-back wins in 2024 and 2025. The Misfits card in Dubai also features a highly anticipated return, as Dillon Danis, who was involved in a recent brawl at UFC 322 in New York, will face Anthony Taylor in an MMA fight under Misfits rules. This card promises an exciting showdown, with Ferguson's title defense and Danis' comeback adding to the excitement.
