KSI‘s Misfits Boxing promotion has had it’s licences suspended in the interest of boxer safety’ by Professional Boxing Association.
The promotion, which was launched in June 2021, has previously showcased events for names such as Tommy Fury, Elle Brooke, Logan Paul and founder KSI.
The association announced on Friday that it had decided to suspend the promotion’s licenses ‘in the interest of boxer safety’.
A statement read: ‘Misfits Boxing: Due to clear violations of the PBA’s rules and regulation, bringing boxing into disrepute and in the interest of boxer safety, Misfits Boxing Promoters’ licenses have been suspended and disciplinary hearings will follow for such license holders.’
There has been no official statement from Misfits themselves.

However, Mail Sport understands that they deny they had their licence suspended and that, instead, the license was given back to the PBA.
A different commission will likely be in place for the X SERIES 012 event next Saturday.
In January 2023, it was announced that Misfits Boxing and DAZN had signed a 5 year deal to continue distribute events with two pay-per-view each year.
KSI has fought five times – twice in one night – on the Misfits Boxing promotion, winning all but his recent clash with former Love Island star Fury.
Fury beat KSI in Manchester by unanimous decision, although on the night, it was incorrectly called as a majority decision.
He won despite having a point deducted for punching around the back of the head in their clash at the AO Arena.
In December, the YouTuber-turned-boxer lodged an appeal with the Professional Boxing Association, who sanctioned the bout, but an independent review panel denied his desires.
The 30-year-old revealed that he broke down into tears following his defeat to the professional boxer.

Speaking on his official YouTube channel, KSI said: ‘I had trained so hard these past few months, working overtime to do what most people saw was impossible and that was to beat Tommy Fury.
‘I felt like I won the fight so to have the judges completely take that moment away from me, it sucked.
‘As soon as I got back home I was angry disappointed and eventually I just broke down and started crying, it wasn’t fair, but life isn’t fair, am I right?
‘I looked back at the fight and I tried to find any highlights, any showings of Tommy Fury beating me in that fight and it was just hard to see any’.
