Who is Ben Williams?

Ben is a boxer from Dublin, Ireland, who fights on Misfits’ boxing card.

He is a rising star in the boxing scene but is still relatively new, as he only debuted on July 15, 2023.

The boxer, born in 2004, competes in the welterweight category.

Ben made headlines when he clashed with TikTok star Ed Matthews, backstage at a Misfits match in November 2023.

After being separated from Ed, Ben posted a TikTok claiming that he still “came out on top”.

The boxer is a rising social media star too, as he has over 250,000 followers on Instagram and nearly one million TikTok followers.

Ben is sometimes referred to by his boxing nickname “Bumblebee”.

What is Misfits Boxing?

Misfits is a boxing promotion founded by the Youtuber KSI, who is a co-founding member of the Sidemen and co-owner of Prime Hydration.

KSI founded Misfits Boxing with Wasserman Boxing, a sports marketing and talent management company based in Los Angeles.

On 10 January 2023, Misfits announced that it had signed a five-year deal with DAZN (a sports streaming platform) to distribute events with two pay-per-views each year.
