Misfits 21 is set to feature the third-ever Survivor Tag match in the history of the promotion.
The original event, planned for March 29 with a main event of KSI vs. Dillon Danis, was rescheduled after KSI withdrew. Other fighters like Harley Benn and Roman Fury, initially on the March card, have since competed elsewhere.
Tempo Arts, who holds a 4-0 record in Misfits, is making his return to the ring. He is a former Misfits heavyweight champion, having vacated his title in November 2024.
In this unique four-way bout, Tempo Arts faces Big Tobz (0-2-0 in Misfits), Godson (0-1-0), and former Love Island contestant Curtis Pritchard. Godson has previously lost to Tempo Arts. Pritchard, known for his friendship with Tommy Fury from the show, will be making his professional boxing debut in this match.
What is a Survivor Tag bout on Misfits?
A Survivor Tag match is a multi-person free-for-all, not a standard one-on-one or team match.
Here are the key rules:
- Only two fighters are permitted in the ring at any given time.
- Fighters can tag in and out of the match.
- A fighter is eliminated if they refuse to enter the ring after being tagged.
- Elimination also occurs via knockdown, knockout, or a corner stoppage.
- After an elimination, the next fighter to enter is determined by rotating clockwise from the corner of the eliminated participant.
- The match consists of six rounds, each lasting three minutes.
- The fighters in the ring automatically change at the conclusion of every round.
- Fighters receive 8 to 10 points per round based on performance; fighters not tagged in automatically receive 9 points.
- Following round three, the participant with the lowest cumulative score is mandatorily eliminated.
- By the start of round five, only two boxers will remain to compete for the win.
