Aarons vs Simpson
Round 1 - Frantic start to the fight as both come out swinging and not really knowing what they're doing.
Looked as though Simpson could have been in trouble but he got his composure back a bit and did land a decent jab on Aarons.
Can't keep that pace for four rounds though.
Main event time
Danny Aarons and Danny Simpson are in the ring ahead of their fight.
All comes down to this, with both making their boxing debuts.
Jay Swingler returns!
YouTuber Jay Swingler will make his return to Misfits Boxing.
He came out to a WWE style entrance to confirm his comeback and rematch with NichLMAO.
The two then had a little tussle in the ring - one of many ones tonight. Never gets boring apparently.
Crowd control
TikToker HS Ticky Tocky got himself into a fight... after the fight!
He clashed with a fan in the crowd, spitting at them and throwing a punch before trying to throw a chair.
Luckily security stepped in just in time.
Taylor vs Silva
Massive win for Taylor, whose Misfits success continues.
He was too strong for Silva and had him hurt on multiple occasions, dropping him with a big right hand.
Silva looked exhausted as the ref jumped in to end it.

Round 3 – Taylor swarms Silva and has him in serious trouble smashing him into the ropes!
Standing count is called and Silva is in huge trouble.
Big right hand and Silva is DOWN! He makes it to his feet but Taylor keeps up the pressure and the fight is over! Ref stops it.

Round 2 – Getting messy here with Taylor flying in and just grabbing whenever something comes back his way.
Silva lands a counter right uppercut but he's getting frustrated with the holding.
The action does start to hot up then cools down with a succession of holding.
Taylor vs Silva
Round 1 - Taylor comes out swinging with shots over the top, looking for the body too.
Silva is trying to box and move on the back foot but Taylor is not giving him time to breathe.
Effective tactic but exhausting. Let's see if he can keep it up.
Back underway
After a fairly long wait Gabe Silva is on his way to the ring.
His dad Anderson is considered one of MMA's greatest and even boxed to defeat to Jake Paul.
Taylor had a career in MMA before moving to Misfits Boxing and has been one of their standouts.
HS calls out Rooney and Jake Paul
He said: "I'm coming for f***ing every influencer in this scene.
"Jake Paul can get smoked. Zherka can get smoked. "Everyone can get f***ing smoked… Wayne Rooney can f***ing get it."

Moving on and hopefully some proper boxing next.
Gabe Silva - son of the legendary UFC champion Anderson - takes on Anthony Taylor.
It has been bubbling for a while now and there's a lot on the line here, including Taylor's Misfits belt.
HS Ticky Tocky vs George Fensom
Not quite as brutal as feared but Fensom is down three times and beaten in round one.
Fensom took the chance to hit the deck as quickly as he could and thankfully that's a rather safe finish.
Pointless exercise for HS and Fensom in honesty.
HS Ticky Tocky vs George Fensom
This fight could get ugly.
There is clearly a huge weight, size and skill disparity.
Prayers go out to Fensom...
Weight to go
Danny Aarons has gone from overweight gamer to the next KSI of Misfits Boxing with a sensational life turnaround.
Aarons was over 17 STONE while rising to fame on YouTube playing FIFA video games.
But amid the rise of celebrity-style crossover bout with Misfits Boxing, the 22-year-old fancied getting in on the action.
He now makes his debut on Saturday night in a headline fight against Premier League winner Danny Simpson in Dublin.
Fatherly glove
Danny Simpson has two daughters, Skye, 13, and Vienna, four.
His eldest Skye knows full well who his social media sensation opponent Aarons is - but he does not want either watching the fight.
Simpson said: "I don't want them to watch.
"Watching your dad have a a fight, you know it's not ideal when they're used to watching me playing football forever.
"Especially Skye knows Danny Aarons and the world. But they're supportive and just told me to do my best."
HS Ticky Tocky vs George Fensom
Up next is controversial TikToker HS Ticky Tocky vs Love Island's George Fensom.
HS comes with a huge online following and divides audiences with his provocative content.
Fensom meanwhile, sadly, looks like he's never boxed a day in his life. Could be an ugly one this.
Williams vs Spencer
Victor Williams says he is open to a rematch if the money is right and admits Spencer is better than he thought.
Williams calls out British YouTuber Jarvis - who holds some kind of Misfits belt.
Misfits Boxing chief Mams Taylor also admits the fight was wronglly stopped and calls out the "atrocious refereeing".
He also confirms the rematch will be next.
Williams vs Spencer
Spencer and his corner fume at the decision and no wonder.
He was on the corner with Williams throwing shots but nothing looked to be landing clean.
Spencer argues the decision and will no doubt demand a rematch.

Round 1 - Ferocious start from Spencer who comes out swinging and has Williams on the retreat.
But Williams find his groove and hurts Spencer with a left hand.
Exhausting pace for the first round and it gets a bit scrappy at times with both struggling to catch a breathe.
Medal of honour
Danny Simpson has agreed to put his Premier League winner's medal on the line in his first ever boxing fight.
It marks the first time Simpson or any football star has stepped foot in the Misfits Boxing ring.
And the stakes have been raised after Tottenham fan Aarons put up a wager ahead of Saturday's bout.
The gamer agreed to put up the gold placard he received after earning 1million subscribers on YouTube.
In return he would win the gold medal Simpson famously earned in 2016.
Will-power
Up next is Irish favourite Ben Williams against influencer Warren Spencer.
Williams has an amateur boxing background and shot to fame as a TikToker and DJ.
Spencer has also had boxing bouts - but not as comprehensive.
Dean the Great vs Fogarty
Deen gives a shutout to the fans and gives the Irish a compliment but he's met with a chorus of boos.
The American calls out boxing stars Shakur Stevenson and Ryan Garcia - pretty ambitious.
Fogarty reckons it was an early stoppage but gives Deen his flowers.
Dean the Great vs Fogarty
The fight is over! Looks as though the referee has stopped the bout before the start of round four.
Deen landed two big right hands that dropped Fogarty towards the end of the round.
But Fogarty - and boss McGregor - can be proud of his effort.

Round 3 – Couple big right hands land for Deen, who has come out with intent this round.
