Chase DeMoor Withdraws From Misfits Boxing Title Defense

Influencer Chase DeMoor has officially withdrawn from his scheduled Misfits Boxing co-main event, which was set to take place at the Copper Box Arena in London on October 10, 2026. DeMoor was slated to defend his heavyweight title against Plinio Cruz, who serves as head coach for Alex Pereira.

Following DeMoor's departure, Plinio Cruz is now scheduled to face Gary Olive, who acts as DeMoor's coach. Olive expressed his gratitude for the opportunity via social media, noting that the replacement bout came together as a result of the sudden change in the lineup. The card remains headlined by an exhibition match between Joey Essex and Daniel O'Reilly.
