Luke Littler has attended a Misfits Boxing event in the past as a spectator.

Luke Littler has revealed TikTok influencer Beavo is the person he would choose to fight if he signed up for a Misfits Boxing event.

The KSI-backed boxing event was first created back in 2022 and proved an instant hit with spectators as the inaugural series sold 445,000 PPV buys.


The series has been used as a platform for influencers from YouTube, TikTok and other medians to take the step into the ring.

There's also been rappers, former NFL players and other celebrities who have signed up to fight.

Wayne Rooney revealed earlier this year that he held talks with Misfits to take part in a celebrity boxing match.

Now Littler is the latest to talk up a possible move into the boxing ring with one person in particular he would pick as his opponent.

While appearing on the MMA Hour, Littler revealed he would 'love to' step into the ring.

He said: "Why not? I tried it like once or twice when I was younger.

"The teenage darts sensation admitted that no talks have been held with Misfits, but he paused when asked who he would want to fight.

Host Ariel Helwani, who is a big darts fan, said: "I know you've got a list. Who is it? MVG? Bully Boy? You'd rough 'em up."

After initially saying he didn't want to say, Littler then revealed choice would be TikTok influencer Beavo.

"It's like a proper person, it's not a darts player," he said.

When asked whether he liked him, Littler replied: "Nah."

Helwani didn't know who Beavo was and Littler explained him as someone who 'just swallows whole potatoes whole on TikTok'.

"I don't like him," he added.
