Astrid Wett says Misfits Boxing treated her like “absolute dogsh*t”
Twitter/X: Astrid WettInfluencer-boxer and OnlyFans creator Astrid Wett is calling out Misfits Boxing, saying she was treated like “absolute dogsh*t” on the viral Prime card in 2023.
Influencer-boxing continues to dominate social media as creators like Jake Paul, KSI and more test their mettle in the ring.
In October 2023, Misfits Boxing — a boxing promotion lead in part by KSI — held their highly-anticipated Prime Card, which saw KSI lose to Tommy Fury and Logan Paul take a sweet, sweet victory over Dillon Danis.
While the card enjoyed immense success, making PPV history with a reported 1.3 million buys, some of its combatants had a far less enjoyable experience.
Instagram: wettastridAstrid Wett slams “sexist” Misfits Boxing: ‘I was treated like dogsh*t’
Astrid Wett is now claiming that she was treated like “absolute dogsh*t” on the Prime card, as told in an explosive video uploaded on January 19, 2024.
In her seven-minute-long video, Wett claimed that Misfits forced her to fight at a loss and “backed her into a corner,” saying she only signed her contract on Monday of fight week because the company “messed me around so much.”
“Misfits tell you that they pay their fighters well,” she said. “They don’t. I was paid £12,000 to fight on that card, bearing in mind my training cost me £15,000 alone. They made their female champ fight for a loss on the biggest boxing influencer card of all time, by the way.”
That’s not all; Wett also alleged that Misfits threatened to kick her from the Prime card if she failed to headline their No. 9 event in Newcastle with seven days notice, claiming that negotiations for the Prime card were so stressful “it actually caused my hair to fall out.”
“I don’t know whether they’re just sexist or not, but they boast about selling 1 million pay-per-views at £20 each on this card. So they made at least 20 million, yet they couldn’t afford to put my team in hotels. I had to pay for my own trainer and my own team to stay in a hotel for a week.”
Ultimately, Wett has made the decision to leave Misfits Boxing behind.
Misfits Boxing co-president Mams Taylor took to Twitter following the news and shared a gif as his response to the accusations from Astrid.
“Oh no! Anyway…,” it reads.
KSI himself hasn’t responded just yet, however, but we’ll be sure to update you if he does.
