JOHNNY FISHER says the world of Misfits Boxing is so weird and whacky he could even end up teaming with his dad to take on the Fury family.
Misfits was founded in 2022 by YouTuber-turned-boxer KSI and his manager Mams Taylor to home to celebrity-style crossover bouts.

And they have since blended elements of WWE into their product with tag-team and multi-fighter elimination matches.
Tommy Fury has become a star of the scene – beating the biggest names in the space in KSI and Jake Paul.
And he returns on Saturday – live on DAZN PPV – against former World’s Strongest Man Eddie Hall.
It is another spectacle showdown attracting attention – and Fisher says there is no limit to where the freak fights can go.

He said on JattvibeSport’s No Glove Lost: “One day there might be the case of me and Big John being a tag team vs Tommy Fury and Big John Fury.
“I don’t think we’d last very long! But I think people would be interested to see.
“But yeah, boxing’s a funny old game, and you never know what opportunities are going to come up.
“And you’ve got to strike and make the right decisions by you, and by what you think, not what anyone else thinks.”

Fury vs Hall – all the info
Tommy Fury and Eddie Hall meet in a blockbuster bout this SATURDAY.
The former Love Island star has only fought once since his huge win over KSI in October 2023.
Fury beat Bosnian Kenan Hanjalic last May, but ex-World Strongest Man winner, Hall, will pose a unique challenge.
The Beast’s boxing experience is limited to a single loss to Strongman rival Hafthor Bjornsson four years ago.
Now, he is hoping to pull off a huge shock against the undefeated Fury.

Fury debuted as a professional in 2018 already bearing the pressure of being the younger brother to heavyweight great Tyson.
But he shot to mainstream fame the following summer when he starred on Love Island and met Molly-Mae Hague – who he shares a daughter and a son with.
Fury’s celeb status helped him earn millions in his bouts against Paul, 29, and KSI, 32, but his career as a traditional boxer was sacrificed.
His decision to embrace the lucrative world of Misfits has been backed and applauded by Fisher – who instead has his heart set on the iconic British title.
He said: “I look at the guys like KSI, Jake Paul, these guys could earn millions and millions of pounds and dollars doing something else.
“But they put the work in, they’re at the top of their game. Tommy Fury is another one I’d put in that bracket.
“They can make lucrative moves in the boxing game, but they can do it any way they want.
“But in the same sort of way, I don’t have to do what I do. We do it because we love it.
“And I’m in professional boxing, and I do have a distinction between the two.
“As Viddal Riley said, he’s a world-titled contender, he’s got the ability to do that.
“I think I’ve got the ability to challenge for a British title and do things like that.
“And as you also said, Viddal, you’ve got hard fights up and down the levels in professional boxing.
“There’s no easy fights when you’ve got contenders at Area level, English level, British level.
“So yeah, it is a hard sacrifice that we make as professional boxers. But, why not?
“If you’re Tommy Fury, if you’re Eddie Hall, you’ve got the following, you’ve got the fanbase, you know that’s always going to be there.
“Even for people like me and Viddal, if I want to go and dip my toe and do that when I’m 40 years old, I can go and do it.”
