Tony Ferguson’s next fight brings ‘El Cucuy’ back to Miami

Tony Ferguson will return to the boxing ring in Miami on September 26. The former Ultimate Fighting Championship interim champion will face Kenzo Biyong, a former professional soccer player, in a five-round bout at Misfits Boxing. The event will take place at the James L. Knight Center. Ferguson, who is 2-0 under the Misfits banner, last competed in boxing in December where he defeated Warren Spencer by unanimous decision.

Biyong, 28, will make his striking debut against Ferguson, although he has prior combat sports experience. Biyong recently competed in UFC BJJ 7 in April, where he was submitted by Raphael Ferreira. The undercard will also feature a heavyweight bout between Chase DeMoor and Plinio Cruz, one of Alex Pereira's trainers. The main event will be a heavyweight match between Henry Cejudo and Deen The Great, also known as "Deen Cucuy."
