UK and German influencer boxing operations will collide this Saturday, June 6, 2026, as Misfits Boxing and Fame Fighting present “The Big Crossover” at the Ostermann Arena in Leverkusen, Germany. The nine-fight card is headlined by a super-heavyweight clash between Fame Fighting champion Aleks Petrovic and Misfits Heavyweight champion Chase De Moor. Event coverage is scheduled to begin at 17:00 BST (18:00 local time), with the main event ring walks expected to take place at approximately 22:00 BST (23:00 local time).
The collaboration represents a “promotion vs promotion” showdown, designed to settle regional rivalries between the two massive influencer stables. While most Misfits events typically stream via DAZN, this co-promotion has established specific regional rights. Fans in the United Kingdom and Ireland can watch exclusively through Sun Club, the premium membership service of The Sun. Meanwhile, viewers in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland must access the event via BILD, which requires a BILDplus subscription and a BILD Fight Pass.
Tensions reached a breaking point during the pre-fight press conference on Wednesday, June 3. Security personnel had to intervene at the Ostermann Arena when Chase De Moor rushed Aleks Petrovic during their face-off. The confrontation escalated as De Moor touched Petrovic’s championship belt and placed a signature cowboy hat on the German fighter’s head, highlighting a rivalry that has grown increasingly personal over recent weeks.
Petrovic and De Moor settle a heated rivalry in Leverkusen
Aleks Petrovic, who holds a 2-1 (0 KOs) record, enters the ring with the pride of his home nation on the line. At 35, the Mülheim an der Ruhr native has emphasized his “genuine professional boxing experience” and technical foundation, contrasted against De Moor’s more aggressive reputation. Petrovic has publicly criticised De Moor’s trash talk, particularly the American’s use of AI-generated videos and the inclusion of Petrovic’s former partners in online taunts.
Chase De Moor, widely known as ‘The GOAT’, brings a physical advantage to the ring, standing 6 feet 5 inches tall. A former college football player who led the NCAA in blocked kicks in 2018, De Moor has since transitioned into a prolific influencer boxer. He carries a 9-2-1 record with 9 KOs and most recently secured a TKO victory over Jesus Enrique Aceves Rangel on May 26. He also holds a notable win over Andrew Tate from late 2025.
Beyond the headliners, the card features several prominent figures from both organizations. Slim Albaher and Luis Pineda representing Misfits will face Fame Fighting’s top prospects in matches that could dictate the future of influencer crossover events. As women’s boxing enters its own golden era with rising viewership, promoters hope these male influencer cards continue to drive mainstream engagement through high-stakes personal rivalries.
Confirmed fight card for Fame Fighting x Misfits Boxing
The “Big Crossover” card consists of nine bouts. While the running order for the undercard has not been finalised, the officially confirmed matchups are:
* **Main Event (Super-heavyweight):** Aleks Petrovic vs. Chase De Moor
* **Super middleweight:** Can Kaplan vs. Slim Albaher
* **Light-heavyweight:** Filip Pavlovic vs. Luis Pineda
* **Heavyweight:** Tobias Pietrek vs. Josh Brueckner
* **Heavyweight:** Michael Doleys vs. Thomas ‘Temperrr’ Oliveira
* **Heavyweight:** Ediz Tasci vs. Nathan James Barnatt (Dad)
* **Heavyweight:** Oliver Ginkel vs. Norbert Ruzicka
* **Heavyweight:** Aro Schwartz vs. Ty Mitchell
* **Heavyweight:** TBA vs. Fes Batista
This event comes as fans keep a close eye on the broader heavyweight landscape, including the contracts for Fury vs Joshua which remain a focal point for the sport later this year. The Leverkusen show provides a distinct alternative, focusing on the personalities and digital fanbases that have become a staple of the Misfits Boxing era.
How to watch The Big Crossover and start times
The broadcast schedule is tailored for a primetime European audience, though viewers across various time zones will be tuning in through regional platforms. Coverage starts at 17:00 BST, allowing for approximately five hours of action before the super-heavyweights take centre stage. The main event ring walk is slated for 22:00 BST, though this time may shift depending on the pace of the undercard.
For those in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, the BILD broadcast is the only official way to watch. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, Sun Club members will receive the feed as part of their subscription package. This regional exclusivity marked a departure from typical DAZN global distribution, ensuring that The Sun and BILD maintain control over the “promotion vs promotion” narrative in their respective territories.
The Ostermann Arena, which serves as the backdrop for this confrontation, will house the 3,500 fans expected to attend. It has been the site of intense psychological warfare this week, and both Petrovic and De Moor have suggested that the Leverkusen crowd will witness more than just a typical exhibition. Petrovic has stated that De Moor’s antics are purely a game plan to get in his head, but he remains focused on using his superior boxing technique to secure a victory on home soil.
