DAZN News looks at the intriguing storylines, key fights and exciting boxers not to be missed on Thursday.

A Misfits rivalry will finally be settled

Gib vs.Slim Wasserman Boxing

The main event of this card will see Slim Albaher and AnEsonGib go at it, as they aim to settle their heated rivalry.

Both pre-fight press conferences have seen barbs and insults traded between the two, with Tuesday's final press conference witnessing a heated and aggressive face-off.

Slim is undefeated and rated as one of the best fighters in influencer boxing, but can he cope with Gib’s aggressive fighting style?

The return of Deji

This is a moment fans have been waiting a long time for, the return of Deji.

The younger brother of KSI has not stepped into the ring for a year and a half, last beating Swarmz in May 2023. He is an unmissable watch inside the ring and returns in Qatar to do battle with Dawood Savage.

HS Tikky Tokky back with another bang?

HS Tikky Tokky enters the ring for a second time after his hugely impressive debut in August. Then he won in an outstanding 79 seconds. In that short time he floored George Fensom three times, before his foe was finally counted out.

For his second fight he comes up against Moziah Pinder. The actor, athlete and Love Island star will present a much tougher challenge.

Both of these fighters have power, stamina and agility. This could go either way and is a contest not to miss.

Championship gold on the line

X Series 019 Wasserman Boxing

A Misfits title is on the line in Doha. Jarvis, 4-1 (3 KOs), defends his welterweight title against Ben Williams.

The Irish challenger, nicknamed Bumblebee, is undefeated in four fights, winning three of those by knockout.

But can he deliver on the biggest stage against a fighter whose only defeat has come against Gib?

Salt Papi’s comeback continues

X Series 019 Papa Salt Wasserman Boxing

After suffering two successive losses in 2023, Salt Papi, has impressed by rebuilding successfully in 2024.

His two fights this year against Amadeusz Ferrari and Dawood Savage ended in knockout wins.

Salt Papi is a stylish, must watch X Series star and now he looks to end the year on a high against King Kenny.
