TOWIE star Joey Essex set for Misfits boxing debut tonight, with details on start time, TV channel, live stream, and fight lineup
Joey Essex, the popular reality TV star known for his appearances on shows like "The Only Way is Essex," is set to make his boxing debut against Portuguese influencer Numeiro on Saturday, August 30. The highly-anticipated event will take place at Manchester's AO Arena, home to approximately 21,000 fans.
The fight between Essex and Numeiro is part of Misfits Boxing's 22 card, which features a mix of UFC legends, Misfits icons, and two TOWIE stars - Essex and Demi Sims. The main event of the night will be a bridgerweight title fight between Darren Till and Luke Rockhold, expected to start at 11pm BST.
Numeiro, who has lost his only career fight in a 2023 sixth-round stoppage by Kalin Simeonov, believes that if Joey Essex's sparring videos are a true representation, he will win the fight. However, Essex's uncle, Tony Simms, a legendary coach known for his work with British icon Conor Benn, is confident that Joey will put up a good fight.
The exact ring-walk times for this fight are yet to be confirmed, but it could start around 9.40pm BST. SunSport will live blog all the action as it happens, ensuring fans don't miss a moment of the action.
The fight between Essex and Numeiro can be watched exclusively on DAZN. An annual subscription costs £119.99 in the United Kingdom, while a monthly flexible pass is priced at £24.99 per month. In addition to the main event, fans can look forward to Salt Papi's middleweight title fight against Tony Ferguson.
