Big Stacks Stops Jordan McCann in Newcastle
Charlie Cox, known as Big Stacks, defeated Manchester rapper Jordan McCann via second-round TKO in the main event of Misfits Boxing at Utilita Arena Newcastle on Saturday, September 12, 2026. The heavyweight bout headlined a card that also featured Olympic champion Jade Jones and Harley Benn, and was streamed live exclusively on DAZN.
The end came at 0:51 of the second round after Big Stacks repeatedly landed his jab, leaving McCann's right eye swollen shut. Referee and ringside doctor inspection prompted the stoppage. "I was too powerful, I kept catching him," Big Stacks said after the fight. "It was harder than I thought it would be. I thought it would be easier so I will have to train harder for tougher opponents. I lost my skill and got into a scrap, but it was always going to be a scrap with Jordan. But I jabbed his head off and hurt him."
The victory avenged Big Stacks' June loss to Baffour Boateng, while McCann had dropped a majority decision to Jack "Ibiza Final Boss" Kay on the same June card. The two had clashed backstage earlier in the summer, sparking a bitter personal rivalry that fueled the build-up.

Context: A Rivalry Settled Under the Misfits Banner
The McCann vs Big Stacks bout had been brewing since their chaotic backstage brawl earlier in the summer. Both fighters entered the ring looking to rebound from June defeats, adding desperation to an already personal grudge. Misfits Boxing, known for pairing social media personalities and crossover athletes, has found a reliable formula in these grudge matches.
For McCann, the loss is a setback in his crossover boxing career. For Big Stacks, the win opens doors to bigger names. Immediately after the fight, he called out Martyn Ford, the "World's Scariest Man." "Martyn Ford, he's a big donut; I want him next," Big Stacks said. "He's big but he's a prick. I want to smash his head. I want to kick his head in."
How to Watch and What's Next
Misfits Boxing events are not available on traditional linear cable networks like Sky Sports, TNT Sports, or ESPN. The series airs exclusively on DAZN worldwide, included with a standard subscription at no extra pay-per-view cost. Fans can stream via the DAZN app on smart TVs, Apple TV, Amazon Firestick, Roku, gaming consoles, tablets, and smartphones.
Perspective: Misfits Boxing's Growing Footprint
The Newcastle card underscores Misfits Boxing's expanding reach. What began as a niche crossover series now sells out arenas and draws global streaming audiences. The promotion's model—no pay-per-view, subscription-only access—mirrors a broader shift in combat sports toward digital platforms.
The event also highlighted the drawing power of personalities beyond traditional boxing. Big Stacks' post-fight callout of Martyn Ford generated immediate headlines, showing how Misfits leverages social media feuds into in-ring storylines. Jade Jones' title win adds Olympic credibility to the roster, while Harley Benn's disqualification victory over Joe Laws will likely fuel a rematch.
As DAZN continues to invest in crossover boxing, Misfits remains its flagship property in that space. The Newcastle show proved that even without a world title on the line, grudge matches and social media stars can fill an arena and drive subscriptions. For now, Big Stacks sits atop the Misfits heavyweight conversation—and he's already picking his next target.
