The third edition of the Dirty Boxing Championship started chaotically when a wrestler attacked a security guard after losing by knockout.

In a match at the “DPX 3” event at The Hangar in Miami, Dustin Bailey faced Sean Hotzing. After a heated opening round in the middleweight category, Bailey delivered a powerful counterpunch that knocked Hotzing down before continuing with heavy ground strikes to finish the fight in the second round.

Although that moment was wild, it was overshadowed just two minutes later. While Bailey was giving a post-fight interview, Hotzing was seen leaving the ring before clashing with a security guard and landing a strong punch, sparking a chaotic brawl.

In another fight, Tyson Nam, former flyweight champion in mixed martial arts, quickly finished Ricky Bandejas before veteran Alex Caceres, who has fought 30 matches, defeated Sean West in the second round.

Days after being removed from the UFC for failing to make weight for the second consecutive time, Brian Battle defeated Derek De Freitas by knockout in 56 seconds.

This was followed by a surprising win by James Cannon, who defeated Olympic judo champion and Bellator middleweight champion Hector Lombard in just 19 seconds.

In the main event, former UFC heavyweight champion Gervonta Rosenstreich won the vacant 265-pound title after defeating Rakim Cleveland.

The hybrid boxing competition is organized by former UFC fighters Jon Jones and Mike Perry, attracting a large crowd in Miami, Florida.

The Dirty Boxing Championship, launched in late 2024, quickly gained attention for its dynamic set of rules.

This emerging combat sport features a hybrid rule set; fights are conducted with 4-ounce mixed martial arts gloves, and while strikes with lower limbs such as kicks and knees are prohibited, almost everything else is allowed.
