Ferguson Calls Out Misfits Boxing Over Press Conference Chaos

Tony Ferguson criticized the chaotic atmosphere at Thursday's Misfits Boxing press conference in Miami, telling fellow fighters their conduct forced his children to leave the event.

Ferguson, who defends his Misfits middleweight title against Mahmoud Sebie on Saturday, took the microphone after multiple confrontations broke out at the presser. "My kids had to walk out because you guys are f***ing up," he said, according to MMA Fighting. "You guys want to do this for views and stuff? Imagine your kids later on watching this."

Ferguson Compares Misfits To UFC Press Events

The former UFC interim lightweight champion contrasted the scene with his past experience in the UFC. He told fellow card participant Henry Cejudo that such behavior never happened at UFC media obligations. Ferguson said he spent the presser listening to music and praying for the room to find peace.

Influencer Dad, who fights Cherdleys on the card, attempted to defuse the tension by asking if Ferguson was addressing him directly. Ferguson responded by threatening to fight him afterward as well, then criticized the example being set for young viewers.
