Whindersson vs My Mate Nate is the latest huge showdown added to the KSI-Fury card
Brazilian megastar Whindersson Nunes will face international idol My Mate Nate in Manchester next month as the MF & DAZN: X Series delivers yet another seismic fight announcement for The Prime Card.
The X Series extravaganza on October 14 is headlined by a historic double main event as KSI tackles Tommy Fury and Logan Paul locks horns with Dillon Danis, live and exclusive on DAZN and DAZN PPV.
But supporting those two giant showdowns is an undercard jam-packed with incredible fights and Whindersson Nunes vs My Mate Nate is the latest to be confirmed for the AO Arena – and there are more to come!
Today’s announcement comes hot on the heels of news that Deen the Great will rematch with Walid Sharks at The Prime Card, with the MFB Lightweight belt on the line, while King Kenny is to face Anthony Taylor, for the MFB Light Heavyweight title.
Chase DeMoor and Tempo Arts battle it out for the MFB Heavyweight crown and there will be further match-ups revealed next week, when X Series 009 heads for Newcastle.
The landmark event has already grabbed headlines on both sides of the Atlantic but the addition of Whindersson Nunes, an icon in his homeland with a massive fan base, and My Mate Nate, who boasts millions of followers in the US and Thailand, makes this X Series event a global affair.
Whindersson Nunes said: “This boxing story began when I wanted to fight Logan years ago, and so fighting on the same card as him means we're closer to that goal.
“I'm very happy to be in this giant organization, on the biggest card of all time, and on October 14th I will put on a show for the audience in Manchester.”
My Mate Nate said: “Manchester, I hope you are ready for a phenomenal night of crossover boxing action!
“My fight with Whindersson is going to be epic and the eyes of the world will be on us as we represent Thailand and Brazil!
“The Prime Card, live on DAZN, is the biggest show ever and I am privileged to be part of it.”
Mams Taylor, Co-President of Misfits Boxing, said: “I cannot tell you how thrilled I am to be able to deliver this huge fight for the fans on October 14.
“The Prime Card was already massive, but this latest announcement takes everything to a whole new level and makes a historic event even more of a global spectacular.
“But hold onto your hats, because there are even more sensational fights to be announced very soon!”
Kalle Sauerland, Co-President of Misfits Boxing said: “Whindersson Nunes vs My Mate Nate is yet another gigantic addition to what is already going to be the biggest, and best, night of crossover boxing in history.
“And don’t take your eyes off the official X Series channels, because next week in Newcastle at X Series 009, the major announcements for The Prime Card keep on coming!”
Joe Markowski, DAZN North America CEO, said: “DAZN is thrilled to have Whindersson Nunes fighting on October 14th, bringing even more attention to this massive night of sports entertainment.
“The card is exceptional and getting better. We can’t wait to broadcast the event on October 14th. It promises to be a spectacle.”
