Misfits recap
We've arrived at Misfits card No 9 tonight and the sixth of 2023 so far.
Last time out we were in Tennessee as Nichlmao beat Swarmz, BDave and Ryan Johnston in a historic survivor tag match.
Also this year, KSI has fought twice on PPV events in London and there's the little matter of next month's Manchester extravaganza to come.

Virgo career
Idris Virgo has been in boxing a lot longer than Aaron Chalmers having had 13 pro bouts dating back to 2018.
He has won 12 and drawn one, but Virgo hasn't fought professionally since late 2021.
Virgo caused a stir this year when he turned up at ringside for KSI's bout with Joe Fournier and had a fight with Tommy Fury.
Fury was there to seal a fight with KSI – but almost found himself in a bout against Virgo.

Chalm offensive
Aaron Chalmers initially went into MMA after his reality television showing.
He fought seven times in Bellator and won on five of those occasions.
Chalmers has fought in a boxing ring three times since – winning the only pro bout against Alex Zeledon in June 2022.
Earlier this year he had a non-scored exhibition bout with Floyd Mayweather in London.
And then he lost to Kiefer Crosbie in a brutal bout in Dublin back in July.

That was personal
Things turned a bit nasty there between AJ and Elle.
AJ accused her of being on steroids, to which Elle responded she would "p*** in a cup right now."
AJ also called her a "f***ing fake b***h."
Well that looks like a fight in the making.

What happened there?
Small Spartan Jay just beat Pully Arif – but how on earth was it a split decision?
Even Arif looked confused when he was awarded the win by one judge.
Misfits promoter Mams Taylor is on commentary on DAZN, and he said: "My goodness, that was no split decision."
Mams added he would've "fainted" if Pully won that.

Carla Jade opened the night with a unanimous win over Tash Weekender.
And just a second or so ago, Small Spartan Jay beat Pully Arif on points after four rounds.
