Cejudo’s boxing debut headlines Misfits card in Miami
Henry Cejudo was scheduled to meet Javon Walton in the main event, with Walton stepping in after Deen The Great withdrew with an injury.
Henry Cejudo was scheduled to make his professional boxing debut against Javon Walton in the main event of a Misfits Boxing card at Miami’s James L. Knight Center on Saturday.
Yahoo Sports reported the main card was set to begin at 6 p.m. ET and stream on DAZN. The supplied coverage provides the event schedule but no results, so it does not establish whether the bouts took place or who won.
Walton accepted the bout on short notice after Cejudo’s original opponent, Deen The Great, withdrew with an injury. Cejudo is an Olympic wrestling gold medallist and former UFC champion at flyweight and bantamweight.
The card also listed Tony Ferguson defending his Misfits middleweight championship against Mahmoud Sebie. Sebie was named as a replacement for Kenzo Biyong, who withdrew over travel issues.
