This weekend, the ‘MISFITS 009,’ card will happen in Manchester, England. The card may not be stacked with the best talent in the sport but it is most certainly stacked with the biggest names. The card is headlined by none other than the CEO of ‘MISFITS,’ KSI. The British YouTuber is fighting Tommy Fury. Meanwhile, in the co-main event, Logan Paul would be making his return to the ring for the first since 2021 after he faced Floyd Mayweather.
As both, KSI and Paul are co-owners of, ‘PRIME,’ hydration, it was inevitable that the card would be named as, ‘PRIME,’ card. However, has the card garnered enough attention to break pay-per-view numbers?
