On 4 March atMF & DAZN: X Series 005, Misfits introduced 'tag team boxing' to the sport of boxing. The rules stated that a boxer can tag-in their teammate once they get to their corner, scorecards are calculated based on the performance of the boxers in the ring as though both team members are one person and if an opponent gets knockout, then the opposing team will be crowned the winner.[7] On 22 July atMF & DAZN: X Series 008, 'survivor tag boxing' was introduced to the sport of boxing. The rules state that a boxer can tag-in any of the boxers that are currently stationed at their respected corner, but cannot, however, tag the boxer who had previously tagged out. If a boxer refuses to tag-in, they will be immediately eliminated. If a boxer were to be knocked out or knocked down, then they too will be eliminated. The last boxer standing will be crowned the winner.[8]
On 14 October, Misfits held its tenth event,MF & DAZN: X Series 10 – The Prime Card, which saw KSI face off againstprofessional boxerTommy Fury.[9] The event reportedly achieved 1,300,000pay-per-view sales, making it the most successful combat sports event of 2023.[10] Despite reports,Dana White suggested that these numbers were nowhere near accurate.[11]
