MF & DAZN: X Series 18: Elle Brooke vs Jenny Savage – Stake Pro Tournament Card in Newcastle
The excitement is palpable as Misfits Boxing returns to Newcastle for what promises to be an electrifying event. Misfits Boxing 18, set to take place on Saturday, September 14, is shaping up to be a night of intriguing crossover bouts, headlined by the clash between Elle Brooke and Jenny “The Tennessee Gangster” Savage including the Stake Pro Tournament featuring the boxing debut of former UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson.
Headlining Clash: Brooke vs Savage
In the spotlight of the main event, Elle Brooke will defend her Misfits Boxing middleweight world title against the formidable Jenny Savage. Brooke, an OF star who has carved out a niche in the boxing world, last fought in May against MMA standout Paige VanZant. That bout ended controversially in a draw despite Brooke’s early dominance, including a knockdown in the first round. This time, Brooke faces a new challenge in Savage, known for her fierce bare-knuckle boxing skills. Fans are eagerly anticipating whether Brooke can retain her title or if Savage will emerge victorious in what many are predicting to be her toughest challenge yet.
