Leah Gotti Withdraws From Misfits Boxing Card After Routine Scans; Andy Nguyen Named Short‑Notice Replacement

Routine pre-fight brain imaging stopped Gotti from competing and forced organisers to find a late substitute for the June 13 undercard.

Overview

Leah Gotti disclosed Wednesday that MRI, MRA and CTA scans revealed a brain aneurysm and white‑matter lesions and that neurologists and a neurosurgeon advised her not to fight.
Lil Bellsy announced on social media that 44‑year‑old former MMA and bare‑knuckle fighter Andy Nguyen will replace Gotti on the undercard.
Misfits Boxing’s Beauty vs The Beast event remains scheduled for June 13 at Manchester’s AO Arena with Tommy Fury vs Eddie Hall still headlining the card.
Pre-fight MRI/MRA/CTA scans are standard clearance procedures for the show and in this case prevented a competitor from facing the risk of an aneurysm rupture during combat or straining activity.
The change highlights how influencer boxing cards mix varying combat backgrounds and can prompt rapid logistical shifts, which may increase calls for consistent medical screening and contingency planning for late replacements.
