Tony Ferguson was overcome with emotion following his win at Misfits Boxing 22.
Ferugson snapped and an eight-fight losing skid in Manchester, defeating boxing influencer Nathaniel ‘Salt Papi’ Bustamante via a third-round TKO. Before that moment, it had been more than six years since ‘El Cucuy‘ had seen his hand raised.
Understandably, the former UFC interim lightweight champion was emotional, dropping to his knees in the center of the ring before being bumrushed by his corner.
Speaking with MMA Fighting following his first win since 2019, Ferguson offered some insight into his training camp and how he felt competing in the first professional boxing bout of his career.
