Bare knuckle brawler and boob-flasher extraordinaire Tai Emery is set to take boxing by storm as the latest addition to KSI's Misfits stable.
The former electrician turned lingerie football player and breakout BKFC star will trade the hand wraps in for a pair of padded gloves in the very near future. Emery is currently visiting the UK and revealed to Daily Star Sport she's agreed a deal to join one of the fastest-rising promotions in combat sports.
"I'm about to burst," said the Australian phenomenon with a deserving smile plastered across her face. "Your girl is now BKFC and Misfits! I wanted to come over [to the UK], and I wanted to expand. You know, we need to stay busy!

"Now, I'm a bare knuckle fighter – I'm not a strict boxer – but I'm still taken seriously as an athlete. So I was shopping around [different promotions], I wanted to take my boxing more seriously, and I feel like I'll be able to have more fights [with Misfits]. And with the way I market myself and how BKFC is growing, it really fits."
Emery, 36, detailed her Misfits move was recently given the seal of approval by co-president and promoter Mams Taylor, who has helped bring YouTuber KSI's booming boxing business to a growing worldwide audience. Big names like Tommy Fury, Jake Paul, Anthony Taylor and Logan Paul have each featured on cards in the past, while the women's stable includes content creators-turned-household names like Elle Brooke, Astrid Wett and Daniella Hemsley.

The new signing stands apart from those other stars in that Emery was a name in the world of sports before she ever moved into adult subscription sites or bared her breasts to the world. And she's now got an even sturdier foundation to make waves in that industry considering she's now fighting for Misfits while maintaining her place on the BKFC roster.
The Misfits arena has sparked a new platform for women's boxing, albeit one centred mostly around participants who are coming from non-sporting backgrounds. And Emery is happy to accept her status as an inspiration behind this wave of female empowerment, with fellow Misfits member Hemsley even mimicking her boob-flashing antics in her last fight (for Kingpyn).

"I think people really forget just because I'm a little crazy and wild, I actually come from a very, very serious background in sports," the 1-1 BKFC fighter added. But despite spreading herself across multiple companies, her business with Misfits will be taking the priority from here on.
Still currently based in Thailand, Emery has visa issues that need rectifying before she'll be certain of where her first Misfits fight will take place. However, there's talk of a potential debut in Brazil in February 2024, which will be the promotion's first card held outside Britain or the United States.
