Overview
- The co-main at the Misfits Boxing Hall vs Fury card ended when champion Anthony Taylor said his eyes were burning after a Matty Floyd jab, and referees ruled the bout a no-contest in the fifth round.
- Because the result was a no-contest, Taylor kept the MFB light-heavyweight title but did not record a win and left Manchester still without a victory since 2024.
- Immediately after the stoppage Taylor charged into Floyd’s corner and was restrained by security and cornermen, producing viral footage and heated backstage scenes.
- On the DAZN broadcast Taylor alleged Floyd may have had Icy Hot or a similar topical product on his gloves, an allegation reported by outlets but not independently verified in available coverage.
- The episode adds to Misfits Boxing’s spectacle-driven reputation and raises clear next steps to watch, including any formal complaint, review by officials, potential disciplinary action, or a rematch decision by promoters.
