- Henry Cejudo (0-0-0 in professional boxing) takes on Javon Walton (20-9-0) in the main event at James L. Knight Center in Miami, with the bout scheduled for five rounds on Sept. 26 starting at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT.
- The card is a Misfits Boxing event, and the source notes Cejudo is a former wrestler and mixed martial artist, making this his first pro boxing match.
- DAZN holds exclusive streaming rights, with the event free for subscribers; the platform's standard plan starts at $24.99/month and its Ultimate Tier at $49.99/month, which includes access to 12 other PPV events throughout the year.
- The undercard features two Misfits title fights: champion Tony Ferguson vs. Kenzo Biyong for the Middleweight belt, and Lightweight champion Fox The G defending against Justin "Joyboy" Ibarrola.
- Additional undercard bouts include Dawson Myles Barrett vs. Louis Russell at Light Heavyweight and Chad LeBaron vs. Nathan Barnatt at Super Middleweight.
- The article flags that celebrity spectators such as Nikki Bella and Jake Paul have attended past Misfits events, hinting at the celebrity-driven nature of the promotion.
Why it matters: Cejudo's crossover from MMA champion to professional boxing debut gives the Misfits card a genuine combat-sports hook beyond its usual influencer-fighter appeal, while DAZN's exclusive paywall starting at $24.99/month determines who actually tunes in. The undercard's two Misfits title fights and a Tony Ferguson appearance add stakes for fans who might otherwise write off the promotion.
