Former Premier League football player Danny Simpson will make his influencer boxing debut against Danny Aarons at MF & DAZN X Series 17.
In 2016, Simpson made history when Leicester City won the Premier League title. Less than ten years later, the English-born right-back has retired from football and started training for a different athletic challenge.On August 31, Simpson will headline MF & DAZN X Series 17 in his first promotional appearance under the Misfits banner. There are mixed expectations for the 37-year-old's upcoming boxing match, as he's been matched up against an opponent with similar combat sports experience.
Dean TheGreat, with 391K Instagram followers and 508K YouTube subscribers, has a 5-0 boxing record. He defends the MFB lightweight title against Shark Tank AU judge Dave Fogarty, who has 153K Instagram followers.
Gabriel Silva, the son of legendary MMA fighter Anderson Silva, also competes on the card.
A former sports star makes his boxing debut as Danny Simpson faces Danny Aarons on the latest MF & DAZN: X Series event.
Elsewhere on the card, we have Misfits regulars and title-holders, Anthony Taylor and Deen the Great, taking on fresh challengers. In Taylor’s case, it’s a name very familiar to the crowd here, as it is MMA legend Anderson Silva’s son, Gabriel Silva, getting his first crack at gold.
Now, a lot of us here who frequent MMA Mania (and the author) are from the American side of the pond and aren’t very familiar with some of these fellas. Keep in mind that Misfits is a promotion run by British folks (KSI, Mams Taylor, Nisse and Kalle Sunderland) so having a name soccer player in Danny Simpson is a big deal for the influencer boxing scene. Simpson was a key defensive part of the Premier League winning Leicester City squad from 2016 and is very much a household name in that part of the world.
Simpson will be fighting Danny Aarons, a fellow Englishman with millions of followers on social media. Aarons also hasn't competed in an influencer boxing match, but he plans to make a statement against the former football player.Aarons is the favorite amongst fans to emerge victorious inside the 3 Arena in Ireland. Meanwhile, Simpson shouldn't be overlooked, as his athletic background could be a difference-maker in a boxing match between inexperienced fighters.
Simpson has played pro soccer since 2006. He started with Manchester United and last played in a game while on Bristol City. He retired in July with Macclesfield. Simpson was known for his time with Queens Park Rangers and Leicester City. The 37-year-old has over 157K followers on Instagram. Aarons has 2.1 million Instagram followers.
Started by KSI, the X Series "showcases the biggest global names in entertainment, sports, and lifestyle competing against one another.” KSI was supposed to compete in a handicap fight but backed out due to injury.
Dean TheGreat, with 391K Instagram followers and 508K YouTube subscribers, has a 5-0 boxing record. He defends the MFB lightweight title against Shark Tank AU judge Dave Fogarty, who has 153K Instagram followers.
There are added stakes for this matchup. If Aarons wins, he will receive Simpson's Premier League gold medal from his title-winning season with Leicester City. If Simpson wins, Aarons must hand over his plaque from YouTube for reaching one million subscribers. The deal was made by handshake, not contractually.Follow along with Sportskeeda for live updates of the 168-pound matchup between Simpson and Aarons.
