Things got heated between Tony Ferguson and Mahmoud Sebie during their face-off ahead of Misfits Boxing Miami.

Ferguson was originally scheduled to take on former professional soccer star Kenzo Biyong on the September 26 card. However, Biyong had to withdraw due to travel issues, and Sebie stepped in on just four days’ notice.

El Cucuy,’ meanwhile, will be defending his Misfits Boxing middleweight championship after having won it following a unanimous decision win over Warren Spencer in December 2025. He had previously won the interim title after TKOing Salt Papi, earlier that year in August.

With just a day left for his fight against Sebie, Ferguson was left fuming during the faceoffs after the former touched the 42-year-old’s face.

At the post-faceoff interview with Ben ‘The Bane’ Davis, Ferguson sent a warning to Sebie:

He touched my face. You touched my face. The last person that touched my face was my mom. I’m gonna touch you.

It is worth noting that Ferguson had also competed against Arman Tsarukyan earlier this year under the Real American Freestyle banner. However, he was no match for the top UFC lightweight as he cruised to a technical fall win (10-0).

Tony Ferguson Also Put the Misfits Boxing Roster On Blast

At the Misfits Boxing Miami press conference, Tony Ferguson ripped into the Misfits Boxing Roster as he went on a rant during the chaos-filled presser.

Ferguson said, taking it out on the fighters causing ‘bullsh*t:’

What I do is I represent myself very well. I go out there, I don’t have to be an influencer and cause all this b*llsh*t. My kids had to walk out because you guys are f*cking up. You guys want to do this for views and stuff? Imagine your kids later on watching this shit. That’s the f*cked up part.
