That's all folks

Thanks very much for joining us tonight as Deji scored a bizarre, humorous win, KSI announced he WILL be fighting in 2025 and Gib beat Slim in the main event.

We have more fallout and reaction to the Misfits Supercard below:

'I'm going to shock a lot of people'

Till is convinced he will win despite his lesser experience with boxing gloves.

He said: "I think technically I’m better than him. I do.

"I genuinely think people are going to be shocked. I don’t want to give too much away. But I think I’m genuinely going to shock a lot of people.

"I think I’m gonna break Tommy down in the later rounds—rounds five and six.

"For two years I've been learning a lot off world class fighters; Liam Smith, Josh Taylor, Callum Smith, JJ Metcalf, Dennis McCann, Frankie Stringer, Caoimhín Agyarko, Garry Cully, Piece O'Leary. For two years I've been training with Dec and Joe. I’ve loved every second of it."

He added: "I just want to go out there and bring pure violence," he said. "If they love it, they love it. If they don’t. There are so many naysayers, just f—k off."

Fury and Till beef

The pair were involved in a scrap during the press conference as both men traded insults - as well as Big John Fury getting involved.

Unlike the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight, Fury vs Till will have eight three-minute rounds and traditional 10oz gloves.

The scrap is also slated to take place at heavyweight, although it is so far unclear if it will be professionally sanctioned by the BBBofC.

Fury vs Till

It has been a long time since we've seen Tommy Fury inside a boxing ring, with his last fight that unanimous win over KSI in October 2023.

Fury, 25, has only fought three times since 2021 and did not fight at all this year.

He is 10-0 (4KOs) in his pro career and will be the favourite going into the fight with Till, the former UFC star.

The Liverpudlian once fought for the the UFC middleweight title, but that defeat was the first of five in six defeats between 2018 and 2022 that saw him dropped from the promotion.

The Gorilla was inside the boxing ring in July for an exhibition with Mo Mutie, but that ended in farcical scenes.

Till KOd Mutie before a brawl erupted in the ring.

HSTikkyTokky vs Wade Plemons

After the theatrics earlier, we would expect HSTikkyTokky and Wade Plemons to be on the undercard of that event in January.

Especially as HS was supposed tonight before his fight was scrapped.

We'd expect a lot of drama in the lead up to that one.

Misfits done for the year?

That looks like the end of Misfits for 2024, with no more events lined up as it stands.

That would leave the next show on January 18, for that absolutely massive fight between Tommy Fury and Darren Till.

That's set to take place at the Co-Op Live Arena in Manchester, with tickets already on sale.

Rigged?

Throwing it back to earlier and fight fans were definitely not convinced at Deji's win over Dawood Savage.

'You're looking at him'

With the show just about to end KSI drops one final nugget in for the fans who stuck around.

The pundits were discussing the Tommy Fury vs Darren Till superfight on January 18 - which SunSport will live blog, of course.

Having discussed the match up, the panel was asked "what next for the winner of that fight?"

KSI then piped up: "Your're looking at him, man."

'I'd love to run it back'

Slim is magnanimous in defeat and gives props to Gib.

He says: "I think it was a close fight. I thought I landed a better shots.

"He's a tough fighter, I think I broke my knuckle on his hard head.

"I'd love to run it back."

'I don't give a s***'

Gib is asked about his title win and says: "I'm the best fighter in influencer boxing!"

He's then asked if he might consider a fight with Salt Papi, but responds: "I don't give a s***."

Gib wins!

And there you go! The challenger AnEsonGib rips the belt away from Slim Albaher to win the title in what was a truly brilliant fight!

Gib vs Slim - DECISION

We tune in to the dulcet tones of Michael Buffer who reads out the scores: 76-76, 78-74, 79-73...

Gib vs Slim

R8: Gib looks like he can go another eight rounds while Slim is gasping for air and has gone into a high guard.

Gib then lands a nice combo and maybe the fight looks like it his going the way of the challenger.

Into the final 10 seconds and the pair basically avoid each other - they both think they've won!

What a fight, superb main event.

Both fighters are celebrating as if they won.

KSI thinks it has gone to Slim - but 87 per cent of DAZN viewers disagree with him.

As do I.

We go to the judges...

Gib vs Slim

R8: The fighters share a little touch of gloves as we start the final round.

KSI claims the fight is 5-2 to Slim, which the other commentators certainly seem to disagree with.

It's probably a 4-3 at this point - but which way I have no clue.

First 90 seconds of the round is very nervy with both men now shy of throwing too much in case they leave an opening...

Gib vs Slim

R7: Quick pause in the round as the referee is unhappy with some tape hanging off of Gib's glove.

Gib is starting to throw a bit more wildly as Slim tees off with another good counter.

Gib then goes to the body and that looks to have tired out a bit, before there's a decent exchange in the clinch with both men landing.

The round ends and absolutely no way am I putting my neck on the line and scoring that one.

Final round coming up and this fight could go either way.

Gib vs Slim

R7: Tentative start to the seventh as both men start to look a bit nervy as we go to the championship rounds.

Slim then fires in a couple of big rights and Gib throws some back but it's coming with a bit less accuracy.

The pair are really throwing everything into this - it has been the best fight of the night by a VERY long way.

Great quality and action.

Gib vs Slim

R6: Gib doesn't seem to fussed by that shot and just continues to come forward.

Both men are throwing good shots with Gib very comfortable initiating the action but Slim picking his counters with superb accuracy.

I would believe any score at the moment, this is as close as a fight can be and will likely come down to how the judges see things.

Slim could do with being a bit more active and throwing more volume, but he is landing the better stuff overall.

Gib vs Slim

R6: A very long way to go here and in their corners Slim is looking the less happy of the two.

Slim seems to have got the message from his corner though and looks to be a bit more active in this one - he's throwing much more, although Gib definitely has the higher workrate.

Gib then gets on the inside but Slim fires in a very solid right that stings.

Gib vs Slim

R5: Slim digs deep to find a left hook of his own but Gib just keeps moving forward.

Then into the final 10 seconds Slim lands a peach that definitely wobbles Gib.

What a fight this is.

Through five and it's as tight as it could be.

Three rounds still to go.

Gib vs Slim

R5: Upon a replay it's clear that the knockdown in the previous round was from a clash of heads that hurt Slim - the follow up right was clean, though.

Gib starts round five well and then lands another huge right that rocks Slim.

He's relentless with his forward pressure, how long can Slim withstand this barrage, and how long can Gib keep it up?

Gib vs Slim

R4: Gib then leads with his left jab to get on the inside and lands a decent shot to the body.

Gib definitely getting the better of this round and there's yet another slip on the night which some thought might have been caused by a punch.

Slim was certainly hurt in the exchange - which was waved off - but Gib smells blood and jumps on his rival.

He then lands a monster righs that look like they might well put Slim down, but he hangs on to the end of the round.

Gib vs Slim

R4: Slim starts the round working behind that long jab, trying to keep Gib at distance.

Gib then lands a beautiful left hook SQUARE on the chin of Slim, which drew some oohs from the crowd - and even had KSI giving credit where it's due.

Gib vs Slim

R3: Styles really making this fight as Gib continues to try and get up close and personal to try and minimise the impact of Slim's longer reach.

Slim lands some decent shots before Gib lands a monster right at the end of the round that could just saw the opinions of the judges.

Difficult round to score but this is a really decent battle so far.

Gib vs Slim

R2: All kinds of slander coming from the microphone of KSI - he certainly wants Slim to win this fight.

But despite the Misfit chief's bias, Gib is starting to get a little bit more joy as he continues to try and get on the inside.

Gib puts on the pressure but Slim ends the round with a nice left.

I'll give that one to Gib, though, with it 1-1 on my scorecard.

Gib vs Slim

R2: Gib's face is starting to show a little bit of redness as Gib tries to get on the inside and do some damage on his rival.

But Slim looks good working from range and lands another decent left that has KSI screaming.

Gib then gets inside and lands well again but the tally, lankier man is certainly on top - and fires in another good right that finds its mark.
