Rod Stewart’s son, Sean Stewart, made headlines for all the wrong reasons in Nashville as his first official boxing outing at Misfits Boxing’s ‘Duel’ event ended abruptly in a 15-second knockout loss. The event, held in front of a modest but lively crowd, was designed to showcase newly-signed professionals and select celebrity bouts — one of which pitted Sean against influencer boxer BDave.

The night took an unexpected turn as BDave, a popular streamer and now seasoned Misfits fighter, entered the ring to the sound of Rod Stewart’s classic hits, adding a touch of showmanship and irony to the occasion. Despite being 45 years old, Sean came out aggressively, showing glimpses of confidence and composure. Commentator Ben “The Bane” Davis even called him a “gym warrior,” noting Stewart’s claims that he had trained since the age of six.

However, the enthusiasm was short-lived. Just seconds into the fight, Stewart dropped his guard mid-exchange, and BDave capitalized with a clean counter that sent the rock legend’s son crashing to the canvas. The referee wasted no time calling off the bout at just 15 seconds of the opening round — marking BDave’s second straight knockout victory in the Misfits ring.

Sean’s father, rock icon Rod Stewart, was performing in London at the time and couldn’t attend the fight — likely a relief given the outcome. Misfits organizers, interestingly, referred to Sean throughout the week as “Rod Stewart’s Son,” which even caused confusion among commentators.

The knockout adds another highlight to BDave’s growing résumé, while for Sean Stewart, it serves as a harsh initiation into the world of celebrity boxing — one that proved just how unforgiving the sport can be, no matter one’s fame or background.
