The gold standard in YouTube boxing returns next month as Misfits Boxing puts on their fifth event in Milton Keynes headlined by Jay Swingler vs Nicholai Perrett.
Swingler made his triumphant return to the ring in October when he viciously knocked out American comedian Cherdleys within seconds after a four year absence. He makes a quick turnaround to face the Tik Tok star Perrett, who goes by the username Nichlmao and is signed to Keemstar and Yusef Erakat’s Happy Punch Promotions.
Expect to see the Brit joined by a host of other social media stars as well as personalities from reality TV, MMA and even lower-level professional boxing. The rest of the card will be announced shortly, as will a venue, and there will be many recognisable Misfits Boxing names involved.
Here’s all you need to know about tonight’s event…

Jay Swingler: “I’m headlining a Misfits event again! February 25, Milton Keynes. Going to steam roll Nichlmao hahaha. I’m ready to go tomorrow. Welcome to the UK you little rake, I’mma send you back home wrapped inside a Yorkshire Pudding.”
Nichlmao : “I am super excited about this. All of a sudden I got a call, this YouTuber is from the UK and he’s been boxing ever since 2018. When I got the call they were like ‘are you sure you want to take this fight? He’s a lot bigger than you and he’s been boxing for a long time’, I was like ‘obviously’.
“Basically, this guy said he wanted an easy fight so he picked me, but there’s one problem with that; I’m not an easy fight. In fact, I might be one of the hardest opponents in this YouTube boxing scene. No-one has seen me yet, they don’t know what I’m capable of and people fear what they do not know. Just know as a warning, I am coming to knock you out, so train hard.”
