Boxing tonight (January 18, 2025): What are the fights lined up?

Tonight's boxing schedule features just one event as 'The Sweet Science' continues its slow transition from 2024 to 2025. Misfits Boxing presents its MF & DAZN: X Series 20 show at Co-op Live in Manchester, England, for local fans. Those who didn't buy tickets will find the event streamed on DAZN. But what of the time?

Viewers on American soil can tune in at 2 PM E.T. / 11 AM P.T. Meanwhile, English fans watching from home can catch the DAZN stream at 7 PM G.M.T. The main event starts at 5 PM E.T. / 2 PM P.T. / 10 PM G.M.T.

The card is headlined by former UFC middleweight and one-time welterweight title challenger Darren Till, who takes on fellow ex-mixed martial artist Anthony Taylor. The pair clash at a catchweight of 195 pounds. This will be an exhibition boxing match like every other bout on the card.

In the co-headliner, Wade Plemons faces Moziah Pinder, better known as 'Masai Warrior,' at bridgerweight in a four-rounder. Elsewhere, former ring girl Carla Jade defends her MFB women's lightweight title against Melanie Shah in a five-round matchup.

At welterweight, Sami Hamed and Zach Johnson lock horns, with Johnson looking to score his first-ever win in seven tries. Then, at light heavyweight, Ty Mitchell takes on Thomas Harnett or 'Tommy Hench' over six rounds.

The remaining three bouts are Adam Brooks vs. Gavin Proctor or 'Gavinio' at light heavyweight, 'BBCC Gareth' (real name Gareth Kelly) vs. Kak Hatt at heavyweight, and Daniel Martin / 'Afghan Dan' vs. 'Little T' / Josh Tate at middleweight. All three bouts are four-rounders.

How many boxing matches were removed from the card?

As is often the case in boxing, not every scheduled fight came to fruition. In this case, three bouts were scrapped from the card. Darren Till, who will now face Anthony Taylor, was initially set to face Tommy Fury in a high-profile clash.

However, Till's threat to ignore the rules and head-kick Fury if he starts losing the bout caused an outraged Fury to pull out, drawing criticism.

Meanwhile, Wade Plemons, who remains on the card, was previously scheduled to fight Harrison Sullivan, better known as 'HSTikkyTokky'. Sullivan is embroiled in legal trouble after a failed court appearance related to him crashing his McLaren.

Finally, Brandon Beavis, 'Beavo' to others, injured his shoulder and pulled out of a fight with 'Demetri Dionysus' (real name Demetris Papadopoullos).
