Henry Cejudo makes his professional boxing debut against unbeaten prospect Javon Walton in the main event of Misfits Boxing at the James L. Knight Center in Miami, Florida, on Saturday night. The card starts at 6 p.m. ET and streams live on DAZN. Cejudo, an Olympic wrestling gold medalist and former two-division UFC champion, steps into the boxing ring for the first time as a professional against Walton, a 20-year-old actor and amateur standout.
Cejudo and Walton Headline Misfits Boxing
Cejudo, 39, built an impressive trophy case across combat sports before retiring from MMA for a second time in late 2025. He won Olympic wrestling gold and captured UFC championships at both flyweight and bantamweight. Since retiring, he has remained active in Real American Freestyle, but Saturday marks his first professional boxing match.
Walton accepted the fight on short notice after Cejudo's original opponent, Misfits veteran Deen The Great, withdrew due to injury. Best known outside the ring for playing Ashtray on HBO's Euphoria, Walton owns a 3-0-1 professional record with one knockout. The Most Valuable Promotions prospect most recently defeated Anthony Mora by unanimous decision in September 2025.
Cejudo entered the building clad in OnlyFans gear ahead of the main event. Former UFC champion Kamaru Usman joined the broadcast as an analyst. The event was preceded by weigh-in antics, including Edris Enofé slapping Big Bobby The Boss with a hamburger, and Tony Ferguson expressing anger over a face-touching incident.
Ferguson Defends Middleweight Title in Co-Feature
Former UFC interim lightweight champion Tony Ferguson returns in the co-feature to defend his Misfits Boxing middleweight championship. He faces fellow former Olympic wrestler Mahmoud Sebie, who stepped in late after Kenzo Biyong withdrew due to travel issues. Ferguson has vowed to hurt his opponent after an incident at the weigh-in where his face was touched, which he said reminded him of his mother.
Ferguson was also unhappy with press conference antics before the event. He brought his children, who left midway through due to the behavior of some Misfits competitors. The former UFC title contender seemed surprised by the atmosphere, though Misfits Boxing is known for its antics and unusual moments.
Early Results and Undercard Action
In heavyweight action, Edris ENA Enofé defeated Big Bobby The Boss via TKO due to injury in Round 1. Big Bobby looked dexterous at first and landed a few effective punches, but ENA shoved him into the ropes and he toppled to the canvas without taking a clean shot. He told the referee his leg was injured and he could not get up, ending the fight.
After the fight, Big Bobby repeatedly told ENA he was lucky the leg injury happened. The former pro wrestler walked out in a hospital gown, clutching his chest and attended by women in nurse costumes, while Big Bobby entered to Part of Your World from The Little Mermaid. The weigh-in hamburger slap added to the buildup.
The broadcast also includes a middleweight bout between Cherdleys and Dad, also known as Nathan Barnatt. The full card features Misfits Boxing regulars and continues the promotion's return to Miami. Fans can follow live results and round-by-round updates for the entire fight card, including Cejudo vs. Walton.
