Misfits Boxing 19: Deji Olatunji vs. Dawood Savage: Live round-by-round updates

The Misfits Boxing 19 Deji Olatunji vs. Dawood Savage round-by-round updates have arrived. They provide fans with real-time coverage and live scoring of the upcoming catchweight contest. The event is scheduled for a start time of 11:00 AM E.T. (Eastern Time) / 8:00 AM P.T. (Pacific Time).

The Olatunji vs. Savage bout, though, which takes place later, is expected to start at around 1:00 PM E.T. / 10:00 AM P.T. While there's no MFB title on the line, the fight is one of the most notable on the card, almost entirely due to it being the return of Olatunji to the boxing ring.

Olatunji is the brother of wildly popular influencer boxer KSI and has carved out his own path in the sport, which began with a surprisingly competitive fifth-round stoppage loss to Jake Paul. He has since gone on to face the great Floyd Mayweather Jr. under exhibition rules, getting stopped in round six.

Nevertheless, he is coming off a win scored last year over Brandon Scott and will be determined to do so against his opponent. By contrast, Savage is still searching for his first win and will have a tall task ahead of him in the form of the hard-nosed Olatunji in their four, three-minute, round scrap.

Unfortunately, there are no betting odds for the fight, but interest in it will ramp up as the card winds down.
