Tony Ferguson will make his boxing return on December 20 at Misfits Mania.

The former interim UFC lightweight champion claimed his first win in the sport on his professional debut at Misfits 22 in August, stopping influencer Nathaniel Bustamante , also known as Salt Papi, in dramatic style.

Ferguson entered the ring for the first time on the back of an eight-fight losing skid in the UFC , which included defeats to names like Nate Diaz and Paddy Pimblett .

The 41-year-old named Edson Barboza as the toughest opponent of his 17-year fighting career in a conversation with talkSPORT.com ahead of his debut, later admitting that boxing was a sport he'd always wanted to explore.
