Tony Ferguson has a date set for his return to action. The former interim UFC lightweight champion (up to 70,3 kg) will step into the Misfits ring to defend his middleweight title against former soccer player Kenzo Biyong. The fight will take place on September 26th, with five rounds under boxing rules at the James L. Knight Center in Miami, Florida.
Ferguson's history with Misfits Boxing
After his UFC career ended, Ferguson signed with Misfits and returned to boxing. In 2025, the American had two fights for the organization and won both. In August, El Cucuy knocked out digital influencer Salt Papi and, in December, he defeated Warren Spencer.

Who is Kenzo Biyong?
At 28 years old, Kenzo Biyong still has little experience in combat sports. Having never competed in a professional boxing match, the Dutchman's resume in the sport is limited to an appearance in UFC BJJ.
On the other hand, Kenzo Biyong's career in football is a bit more extensive. Playing as a left-back, the former player went through smaller clubs in the Netherlands, Finland, Romania and Sweden.
