The venue had to be evacuated during the second round of the fight between Lil Cracra and Yuddy Gang due to what was perceived at the time to be a possible bomb threat.

Fans and staff were forced to flee the venue, with the action not getting back underway for another 80 minutes.

KSI, 30, later claimed that the event had been “swatted”.

“Swatting” is an internet prank that sees a hoax phone call report a serious crime to emergency services – leading to a swat team being called.

Watching on, KSI wrote on X: “I’ve never seen an event that I’m watching LIVE, get swatted. America’s different.

“Whoever called in the bomb threat, well played.

“You’ve now just made Misfits 13 one of the most talked about events.”

KSI then vowed to take strong legal action.

He added: “The event is back plus the swatter is gonna get sued and arrested. Long day. VPNs won’t save you.”

Misfits announcer Todd Grisham offered an explanation of what had gone on.

He wrote on social media: “We apologise for that brief delay.

“Basically what happened is the local law enforcement authorities out of an abundance of caution asked everyone to clear the arena so they could do an in-depth security check.

“They did that and have been given the all-clear so we will continue the show.”

The bout between Lil Cracra and Yuddy Gang did NOT get back underway and was ruled a no-contest.

But the other fights on the main card did go ahead as planned.

In the main event, Fox The G beat Evil Hero via first round TKO.

The Misfits Boxing event was delayed by 80 minutes
