A Misfits Boxing event was disrupted in Tennessee on Saturday due to a swatting incident, prompting YouTuber, fighter and promoter KSI to issue a warning online.
âThe event is back and the swatter will be charged and arrested,â KSI wrote on
Swatting â a prank in which emergency services are called and unknowingly sent to a non-urgent target â is already a major problem in Tennessee. In a 2020 incident, a Tennessee man suffered a fatal heart attack as police were rushed to his home. Since then, the state has introduced a new law aimed at curbing this dangerous practice.
Misfits Boxing 13 was broken up during the second round of a fight between Lil Cracra and Yuddy Gang, which led to the Worldwide Stages arena being evacuated by police.
Spring Hill police did not answer the phone when DailyMail.com contacted for more details.

Fighter and promoter KSI will issue an online warning to anyone who pulls the prank
Although no video has surfaced of the police storming the arena, KSI has revealed the slapping prank on X.
âI have never seen an event I watch LIVE get squashed,â London-born KSI wrote. ‘America is different.’
KSI, who launched Misfits Boxing with Wasserman Boxing in 2021, claims the whacker helped promote the fight card.
âWhoever called in the bomb threat played well,â he wrote. âYou just made Misfits 13 one of the most talked about events.â

KSI threatened to sue the prankster: “The event is back and the swatter will be sued…”
The event resumed just over an hour later.
âWe apologize for this brief delay,â Misfits commentator Todd Grisham explained on social media. âWhat actually happened is that out of an abundance of caution, local law enforcement authorities asked everyone to clear the arena so they could do a thorough security check.
“They did that and they got the all-clear, so we’re going to continue with the show.”
Lil Cracra-Yuddy Gang was banned from competing, but the subsequent three fights went ahead as planned.
