Misfits Boxing returns to London tonight with Joey Essex and Dapper Laughs headlining the main event. Both men have fought once for the promotion before: Essex outpointed Numeiro in a slug-fest last year, while Dapper Laughs stopped Simple Simon three years ago. Essex enters as the favourite, with Dapper Laughs stepping in at short notice after the reality TV star struggled to secure an opponent.
Undercard highlights
The undercard features Swarmz and Ambush settling their rivalry after coming to blows last month. Big Stacks, who calls himself the UK's Hardest Man, returns for his third fight of the year against West Ham legend James Collins, who stepped in to replace Apprentice star Thomas Skinner.

Joey Essex and Dapper Laughs are expected to walk to the ring at around 9.20pm tonight, with the fight starting shortly afterwards. The first fight of the night begins at around 6.30pm, and with an eight-fight card, it should not be a late night. All fight times are subject to change and depend on how long the undercard takes.

Quotes corner
Joey Essex: "I want to shut people up. I've been training smarter and I want to box smarter. I want to be a bit more smarter; everyone thinks Joey is stupid but you're going to see I'm more than a pretty face. I'm a lot smarter than you think. I'm not underestimating Mr. O'Reilly, but I know what I'm going to do. I'm going to box smart. You're going to see the smart version of Joey Essex and it's a dangerous one."
Dapper Laughs: "I've had to lose a stone and a half for this and we've been sparring really hard. I think you're in for quite an electric fight because I know he takes this seriously and he wants to put on a show. They're trying to make him the poster boy of Misfits but I know how to box."
