‘You guys are f*cking up’: Tony Ferguson rips Misfits Boxing lineup during bizarre press conference

Tony Ferguson criticized the chaotic atmosphere at Misfits Boxing's press conference ahead of his middleweight title defense against Mahmoud Sebie on Saturday in Miami. The Thursday presser devolved into near-brawls, wild trash talk, and other unprofessional conduct that prompted Ferguson to take the microphone and express his frustration. "What I do is I represent myself very well," Ferguson said, noting that the antics had forced his children to leave the venue. "I go out there, I don't have to be an influencer and cause all this bullshit... Imagine your kids later on watching this shit."

Ferguson, a former UFC title holder competing in his third Misfits fight, contrasted the boxing promotion's culture with his lengthy tenure in the UFC. "I was just sharing with Henry we never see this stuff in the UFC or anywhere else," he remarked. The event also features former two-division UFC champion Henry Cejudo making his Misfits debut against Wanna Walton in the main event. After his comments, influencer Dad—scheduled to face Cherdleys on the card—responded lightly, prompting Ferguson to continue his critique of the promotion's focus on viral moments over professionalism. Despite his frustration with the spectacle, Ferguson reiterated his singular focus: "I'm here to fight. I'm here to box."
