Former UFC double champion Henry Cejudo was going to make his boxing debut on August 19 under the Misfits Boxing banner against influencer Deen the Great. But now, “Triple C” will have to wait a little longer before he enters the squared circle, as Deen the Great has pulled out.

Now, Henry Cejudo will make his boxing debut on September 26 at the James L. Knight Center in Miami, Florida, against 20-year-old Javon Walton, announced by Most Valuable Promotions and Misfits Boxing today.
