Misfits returns this weekend, featuring a Survivor Tag match involving four participants.
The promotion describes the bout as “every man for themselves,” with the victor earning a guaranteed opportunity for the Misfits heavyweight championship.
Rapper Big Tobz, TikTok personality Tempo Arts, jeweller Godson Umeh, and Love Island figure Curtis Pritchard are set to compete this Friday night during the Misfits 21 event.
Tempo Arts holds a 4-0 record in Misfits and previously defeated Godson – in Godson`s only professional fight to date – via TKO in March 2023.
Big Tobz has a record of 0 wins and 2 losses, with his last defeat being a TKO against Kelz in September of the previous year.
Pritchard, known for appearances on shows like Dancing with the Stars, Hollyoaks, and Celebs Go Dating, is making his first appearance in a boxing match.
This fight is part of a strong Misfits lineup in Derby, featuring prominent names such as Darren Till, Idris Virgo, and Wakey Wines.
However, unlike these traditional boxing contests with standard rules and scoring, this particular fight is structured quite differently.

Fighter Quotes
Regarding the rules, Pritchard commented: “Honestly, as it`s a relatively new idea, there`s not much precedent. I have some strategies in mind for the best approach, which I won`t reveal. It`s definitely a learning experience.”
Speaking about boxing generally, he added: “It`s fantastic. Truly wild. I`ve always enjoyed watching fights and the sport of boxing itself. It`s held my interest my whole life, but I never had the opportunity to participate before.”
He continued: “Being involved in dancing at such a high level, performing and competing extensively, consumed my time. I believe that once you develop the mindset required to excel at something, applying that same mindset to a different pursuit allows you to become proficient quite quickly.”
