Henry Cejudo is headed to Misfits Boxing next week where he\u2019ll face off with the actor who plays Ashtray from Euphoria.<\/p>\n
Yes, you read that correctly. \u201cTriple C,\u201d who has an Olympic gold medal in wrestling and was a UFC double champion, has accepted a last-minute change to his U.K. influencer promotion bout on September 26th. Cejudo was originally set to face Kick streamer Deen The Great. Now he\u2019ll face Wanna Walton, whose credits include HBO\u2019s Euphoria and The Umbrella Academy.<\/p>\n
Walton is 3-0-1 in boxing with three of those fights coming under Jake Paul\u2019s MVP promotions. According to MVP co-head Nakisa Bidarian, Misfits offered up a \u201csignificant financial guarantee\u201d to allow Walton to fight Cejudo, and MVP is expecting Wanna to show Henry what\u2019s what in the ring.<\/p>\n
\u201dI knew all along that Dean The Bitch would back out, and so I am not surprised he has done,\u201d Cejudo said in a press release announcing the change. \u201cBut I have a new opponent now, who thinks he\u2019s a fighter, but Wanna will be playing another robot by the time I\u2019m done with him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cejudo\u2019s wrestling is still sharp, but we\u2019ll see how his boxing skills hold against a much younger opponent in Walton. MMA fighters don\u2019t have a great track record when they step into the boxing ring, but it would be pretty embarrassing to lose to an actor with a boxing side hustle.<\/p>\n
