Tony Ferguson exchanges heated words with Mahmoud Sebie

Tony Ferguson expressed significant frustration after opponent Mahmoud Sebie touched his face during a promotional faceoff in Miami. Sebie is a short-notice replacement for Kenzo Biyong, who withdrew from the card due to travel complications. Ferguson, the reigning Misfits Boxing middleweight champion, told interviewer Ben Davis that he plans to retaliate physically during their upcoming fight.

Beyond the confrontation, Ferguson utilized the press conference to criticize the conduct of other fighters on the Misfits roster. The veteran fighter accused his peers of prioritizing social media views over professional decorum, expressing concern regarding the environment created for observers. Ferguson previously won the middleweight title via unanimous decision against Warren Spencer in December 2025.
