The 37-year-old retained her Women’s Lightweight World title with a unanimous decision victory over the Icelandic social media influencer on October 10.

All three judged scored the bout in Carla’s favour: 48–47, 48–47 and 49–46 but the verdict sparked a furious backlash online, with some fans insisting Night, 20, was the rightful winner.

Now the rivals are set to meet again in Manchester on December 5 at a still to be announced venue.

One fan claimed Night ‘completely dominated the whole fight’, adding that she ‘barely lost a round’. Another branded the verdict a ‘robbery’ and accused Jade of being part of the ‘Misfits protection programme’.

This is despite former American boxer BJ Flores, now 47, insisting Night did ‘zero damage’ to Jade after the first two rounds and the fight was ‘not a robbery at all’.

And former ring girl and model Jade insists the accusations of favouritism are unfair.
The Londoner said: “People can say what they want on social media, but that doesn’t change the result. I got in that ring, did my job and the judges gave me the win. Just because some people don’t like the decision doesn’t mean something dodgy has gone on.

“Let’s get one thing straight: Misfits Boxing is not fixed. These are real fights, with real consequences, and we put ourselves on the line every time we step into that ring. To suggest the whole thing is fixed just because your favourite fighter didn’t get the decision is ridiculous.

“If people genuinely believe Erika won, then we’ve got the perfect opportunity to settle it. We’re fighting again in December. No excuses, no arguing over scorecards afterwards. Erika’s fans can’t win her the fight. They couldn’t the first time, and they won’t be able to the second time when she’s laid out on the canvas.”

But the rivalry between the two women has already spilled beyond the ring, with Jade previously accusing Night of shoving her following their October 10 showdown.

The champion claimed the celebrations were overshadowed by a confrontation after the final bell, alleging that Night shoved her in the ring before tensions continued backstage.

Jade also alleged that members of Night’s team made threats during the backstage incident.

Speaking after the original fight, Jade said: “I honestly couldn’t believe what was happening. I’d just gone five rounds, won the fight and defended my title, and then she shoved me. I understand that losing is emotional, but there has to be respect between fighters.

“Erika needs to grow up. You don’t get to put your hands on someone just because you didn’t get the result you wanted. That’s not how boxing works. If you want to be taken seriously as a fighter, you have to learn to accept defeat as well as celebrate victory.”

The post MISFITS IS NOT FIXED!’ CARLA JADE FIGHTS BACK AT ‘ROBBERY’ CLAIMS AS ERIKA NIGHT REMATCH IS SET FOR DECEMBER first appeared on Sidekick Boxing.

Knight has a history with Floyd, having previously been approached by the Australian for sponsorship. Their connection began when Floyd contacted Knight directly on WhatsApp after hearing about his involvement with Andrew Tate.

Floyd had learned that Knight had sponsored Tate and looked after him during his combat sports career, prompting him to reach out and establish a connection with the Sidekick Boxing owner.

However, according to Knight, their relationship became complicated after Tate’s team discovered that Floyd had contacted him. Knight claims members of the team attempted to turn Floyd against him by spreading rumours about him.

Despite the alleged attempts to create tension, Knight has continued to follow Floyd’s journey and is now delighted to see him secure an opportunity against one of boxing’s biggest names.

Daniel Knight reflects on Matty Floyd’s previous failed fight opportunities

Floyd had previously been linked with several high-profile crossover boxing matchups, including potential fights against Chase DeMoor and Tommy Fury. However, those opportunities failed to materialise, something Knight remembers from their previous conversations.

Speaking about Floyd finally getting the Mayweather fight, Knight said:

“It’s good that he got that Mayweather fight. He had come to me for sponsorship in the past and I knew they messed around with him for different fights like Chase and Tommy. I’m proud of him for landing the Mayweather fight.”

Floyd’s upcoming contest against Mayweather represents a major opportunity for the Australian, particularly after his previous attempts to secure fights against established crossover boxing names.

Mayweather, a former five-division world champion with an undefeated professional record of 50-0, brings enormous recognition to the matchup.

For Knight, however, the significance goes beyond the name of the opponent. Having known about Floyd’s pursuit of major fights and his previous sponsorship approach, he is pleased to see the Australian finally get the opportunity he has been chasing.

The 22-year-old WBC Muay Thai World Champion takes on Polish powerhouse Maciej Karpinski in lightweight Muay Thai at The Inner Circle 37 on Friday, November 6. The card streams live in Asia primetime from Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium for members at live.onefc.com.

Proctor won New Zealand’s prestigious King in the Ring tournament in 2023 and has carried that momentum into ONE. He knocked out Liu Quan in the third round at ONE Friday Fights 130 last October, then dropped “The Phenom” Tun Min Aung with a head kick on the way to a unanimous decision at The Inner Circle 18 in June.

Another statement win could strengthen his case for a US$100,000 main roster contract. The Tihipuke Muay Thai representative knows exactly how valuable his spotless record has become.

“It’s something I do need to protect because it gives you that status, you know? You can get good opportunities being undefeated and having a lot of knockouts,” Proctor said.

“So yeah, for sure, I’m looking to stay undefeated and keep getting more knockouts.”

Karpinski is a dangerous test. The European veteran scored four knockdowns before stopping Donny “The Don” Smith in the second round of his debut at ONE Friday Fights 113, and he brings heavy combinations, hard kicks, and real reach.

Proctor respects that threat but is predicting a knockout inside the first two rounds. He has spent camp sharpening his boxing and expanding his arsenal to keep Karpinski guessing.

He also has bigger names in mind. Reigning ONE Lightweight Muay Thai and Kickboxing World Champion Regian “The Immortal” Eersel sits at the top of his long-term goals.

For now, though, the Kiwi believes fans have only seen a small part of what he can do.

“This is just the start. I’ve still got a lot that I can showcase, and I’ve got a lot more tricks that I can pull out of my sleeve,” he said.

“I feel like the fans should expect a fireworks fight and a highlight-reel knockout from me.”

Isannuea Sor Sasiwat and Jack Siatanyokkrok PK meet in the bantamweight Muay Thai main event of ONE Friday Fights 177 on Friday, November 6, live in Asia primetime from Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium. Neither is built for a long night of point-fighting.

Isannuea, 22, has finished all four of his promotional victories but enters off an August loss to unbeaten Ubaid “Bad” Hussain. The Sit Erawan Gym and Sor Sasiwat athlete has treated that night as a lesson, and he is moving up to bantamweight for the first time as his body fills out.

“I felt a little bit bummed out about that loss. He hit me with a body hook [in the first round], and I just didn’t brace for it in time. But Ubaid has great skills. He’s really fast,” Isannuea said.

Jack, 31, returns to the weekly series for the first time since 2023, when he went 2-1 and scored first-round knockouts of Mardanglek Nakatawan in 82 seconds and Darkie Nokkhao KorMor11 in 45. He has since pushed his career win total to 72 on Thailand’s traditional stadium circuit.

He joined PK Saenchai Muaythaigym in July.

“I’ve still been actively fighting – mostly under the 5-round traditional fights. My performances have actually been pretty solid. I never stopped fighting. I kept the momentum going,” Jack said.

“Now, I’m super excited and honestly overjoyed to fight in ONE Championship again. It feels like getting a second chance at life because this is the ultimate dream and hope for both myself and my family.”

Isannuea is chasing the 51st win of his career, and he has a very specific reward in mind if it comes quickly.

“I’m definitely going to invite him into a firefight and drag him into a brawl. If the opportunity to finish him arrives, I’ll take it and end it fast. I don’t want to drag it to the final round,” he said.

“I’m going to put him away – no stalling. I’m gunning for the bonus, too. It’s the end of the year, so I want to grab that bonus and use it for a New Year’s trip!”

Fury and Joshua are finally scheduled to settle their long-running rivalry on December 11 at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff. The blockbuster encounter has been nearly a decade in the making, with several previous attempts to arrange the fight collapsing before an official date was secured.

However, with just one month remaining before the biggest all-British heavyweight showdown in years, Bruno’s comments raised fresh questions about Fury’s physical condition.

Speaking on the latest episode of Fight Your Corner with Tony Bellew, the former heavyweight champion revealed that he had heard concerns about Fury’s training camp.

“I looked at him the other day and I think someone was talking to me in the gym that he’s got some injury,” Bruno said.

“Which may stop him from going into the fight with Anthony Joshua. And having that in your head isn’t nice.”

Bellew, however, was not convinced that there was anything serious behind the rumours. The former cruiserweight world champion suggested that Fury could simply be playing mind games ahead of the biggest fight of his career.

“He plays up to the camera, Frank,” Bellew responded.

“I think he wants to, you know, he’s going to be saying certain things.

“I do think Tyson Fury is the master of the mind games. Yeah, he’s very, very good at it. Very, very good at the mind games.”

Fury’s promoter shuts down injury suggestions

The speculation has since been firmly rejected by Fury’s promoter Frank Warren, who dismissed the suggestions as “nonsense” when speaking to The Sun.

talkSPORT also understands that Bruno’s claims are wide of the mark, providing further reassurance that the December 11 showdown remains on course.

Fury has been preparing for the encounter in Miami under trainer Sugar Hill Steward, bringing in high-level sparring partners as he looks to sharpen his preparations against Joshua, widely regarded as one of boxing’s most dangerous knockout artists.

Meanwhile, the Principality Stadium is already sold out, with approximately 80,000 fans expected to attend the blockbuster in Cardiff.

With so much anticipation surrounding the contest, any potential postponement would create a major logistical headache for organisers. Should either fighter be unable to compete, a new date in early 2027 would likely be considered.

For now, however, there is no confirmed indication that Fury is injured or that the fight is in danger of being postponed. Both heavyweights remain in training, with hopes that the long-awaited rivalry will finally be settled inside the ring.

The former Manchester United and England striker made the surprising call-out during a visit captured by Queensberry, where he was filmed addressing Carragher directly.

Rooney did not hide his enthusiasm for the potential matchup, delivering a clear message to his former football rival.

“I’d f***ing love to get Carragher in the ring, so you can tell him. Carra, I would love to get you in the ring,” Rooney said.

The comments have sparked an interesting possibility of two former Premier League rivals settling their differences inside a boxing ring rather than on the football pitch.

Rooney Has Previous Boxing Experience

Rooney’s interest in boxing is nothing new. The former striker boxed during his childhood and spent time at Croxteth Amateur Boxing Club in Liverpool, where his uncle Richie Rooney was involved.

However, his boxing ambitions were put on hold as he pursued a professional football career, with Everton advising him to stop boxing as he progressed through their academy.

He also famously suffered a knockout during a playful sparring session with former Manchester United teammate Phil Bardsley in 2015.

There is currently no confirmation of a fight between Rooney and Carragher, but Rooney has made his intentions clear.

Whether Carragher accepts the challenge remains to be seen.

The two heavyweights meet in an openweight submission grappling clash at ONE Fight Night 49: Gabriel vs. Magomedov on Prime Video on Friday, November 6, live in U.S. primetime from Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium. The bout also launches ONE’s heavyweight grappling era.

Hugo, 29, arrives fresh off sweeping the +99kg division at the 2026 ADCC World Championships, where he submitted all four opponents. The four-time IBJJF World Champion won their first meeting at the 2016 IBJJF Worlds with a flying triangle.

Johnson evened the score at the 2017 Europeans. Hugo has never forgotten either match, and he has never found footage of his win.

“In the first match, I won by submission. It was actually a pretty cool submission that I could not find the footage for all these years. When he beat me, there were a few highlights. But yeah, it’s 1-1,” Hugo said.

“This match came at a great moment. We have a history. I had to wait nine years for this rematch. I look forward to getting a chance to take that one back.”

Johnson, an IBJJF No-Gi World Champion from Unity Jiu-Jitsu, accepted the bout after a single offer from ONE Vice President of Grappling Tom DeBlass. Despite winning their most recent match, he is wiping the slate clean.

“We’re both different people, different athletes. We’re probably much more physically mature than we were back then,” Johnson said.

“The only thing that you can take away is the fact that you’ve done it already, so you can do it again. I think that goes both ways, since we both have had victories over one another. You have to forget what’s happened in the past.”

Their first two meetings came in the gi. This time, the trilogy will be settled in no-gi on the global stage.

Johnson respects Hugo’s movement for a man his size. Even so, he does not consider himself an underdog in the slightest.

“I’m just gonna do my best to apply my game. If I get to my preferred finishing situations, I can finish anyone, especially if you let me lock my hands around your head and your arm. I’m pretty confident,” he said.

The ONE Welterweight Submission Grappling World Champion challenges Lee for the ONE Lightweight MMA World Title in the main event of The Inner Circle 37 on Friday, November 6. The card streams live in Asia primetime from Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium, exclusively for members at live.onefc.com.

Lee has framed the fight as payback for his younger brother, Adrian “The Phenom” Lee, whom Ruotolo submitted in his MMA debut at ONE Fight Night 35 in September 2025. The champion has also questioned the 23-year-old’s lack of experience in real wars.

Ruotolo does not dismiss the family motive. He simply believes Lee’s track record shows a fighter who handles unfinished business with a clear head.

After losing his lightweight belt to Ok Rae Yoon in September 2021, Lee won it back in their rematch a year later. Following a no contest with Alibeg Rasulov in December 2024, he finished the Turkish contender in their sequel last November.

“I know if someone beat my brother, a big part of me would want to get that back, for sure. But I know that Christian’s also a professional at what he does. He’s been a champion for a long time under the promotion – and that hasn’t been by accident,” Ruotolo said.

“So, I’m not expecting him to be overly emotional or feel like he has to justify his brother, but maybe he will. I don’t know.”

A win would make the California native the first ONE World Champion in both submission grappling and MMA. Both of his MMA victories have come by submission and earned US$50,000 bonuses.

Even while predicting a short night, Ruotolo has nothing but respect for the man who became ONE’s youngest male MMA World Champion in 2019 and added welterweight gold in 2022.

“To stay a champion, you have to have a lot of good qualities, [like] being patient and being not emotional, and I’m sure that is a quality that he possesses. He’s strong. He’s got a lot of heart. He’s well-rounded. He’s explosive,” he said.

“He’s got some good qualities, for sure. He doesn’t make too many mistakes, too. Overall, he’s a great competitor.”

The pair meet in the flyweight kickboxing co-main event of ONE Fight Night 49: Gabriel vs. Magomedov on Prime Video on Friday, November 6, live in U.S. primetime from Bangkok’s Lumpinee Stadium. Their first fight at ONE Friday Fights 37 in October 2023 was a nine-minute war.

Since then, both men have changed. Kongthoranee, a three-time Rajadamnern Stadium Muay Thai World Champion, opened his kickboxing career with a unanimous decision over Yuan Pengjie at The Inner Circle 32.

Naito, meanwhile, is chasing a fourth straight win after beating previously undefeated Hyu “Mister Pepper” Iwata at ONE SAMURAI 1. The 29-year-old Thai admits the rules make this a scarier assignment, but he is not backing down.

“After fighting kickboxing in my last bout, I want to develop more fluid and continuous combinations. It’ll make my strikes more effective and give me that killer instinct to finish fights. I’m confident I still have plenty of room to grow,” Kongthoranee said.

“Facing Taiki in kickboxing does look scarier than fighting against him in Muay Thai, but I still believe I can get the job done. Here’s my message to Taiki – no matter the rules, Muay Thai or kickboxing, I will definitely be your nightmare.”

Naito, a 30-year-old former Shoot Boxing Japan Champion from Bell Wood Fight Team, is primarily a kickboxer who has also competed 11 times under Muay Thai rules. Of the 14 losses on his 39-win record, the one Kongthoranee handed him stings more than most.

He has studied his rival’s kickboxing debut and believes his hands give him the edge. Camp has gone smoothly, and he already knows how he wants this rivalry to end.

“I’m sure it’ll be an intense fight, but I do want to finish it cleanly in the end. As for the type of finishing shot, it depends on the situation,” Naito said.

“I’ve prepared both a right punch and a left punch that can put him down, so I want to leave it to the flow of the fight and trust my weapons.”

Whyte did not hold back when addressing Chisora, taking a direct shot at his longtime rival’s age while dismissing him with an expletive-filled remark.

“Derek is a p*ick man. fu*k Derek – your man is turning 60,” Whyte said.

The comments add another chapter to one of British boxing’s most entertaining rivalries, with the possibility of a trilogy fight continuing to generate interest.

The pair have already shared two memorable encounters, with Whyte coming out victorious on both occasions. Their first meeting took place in December 2016, when Whyte secured a closely contested split-decision victory after 12 rounds.

Two years later, they renewed hostilities in another entertaining heavyweight contest. This time, Whyte left no doubt about the result, stopping Chisora with a devastating knockout in the 11th round of their December 2018 rematch.

Whyte still wants to settle the rivalry for a third time

Despite having two victories over Chisora, Whyte has previously made it clear that he would welcome another opportunity to face his old rival.

In October 2025, the pair were linked to a December 13 trilogy fight at Manchester’s Co-op Live Arena. Both boxers expressed interest, but contractual disagreements prevented the contest from taking place.

Chisora insisted that the paperwork needed to be right before he agreed to the fight, while Whyte also acknowledged that several details needed to be finalised.

The proposed contest was particularly significant because Chisora had been approaching his 50th professional appearance, with the veteran heavyweight previously suggesting that it could be his final fight.

Whyte, meanwhile, has been looking to rebuild his career following a devastating first-round stoppage defeat against Moses Itauma in August 2025.

The 38-year-old has since publicly expressed his desire to return to the ring and even reiterated his interest in fighting Chisora during an interview with Sky Sports in April 2026.

With both men having plenty of history, a third encounter would offer an opportunity to finally close the chapter on their rivalry.

Whether the latest verbal exchange helps bring the fight closer or simply adds another layer to their longstanding animosity remains to be seen.
