A Misfits Boxing event was interrupted in Tennessee on Saturday due to a crushing incident, prompting YouTuber, fighter and promoter KSI to issue a warning online.
“The event is back on and the fly swatter will be sued and arrested,” KSI wrote on X when the card resumed in Spring Hill, Tennessee, a city 37 miles south of Nashville.
Swatting, a prank in which emergency services are called and unknowingly dispatched to a non-emergency target, is already a major problem in Tennessee. In a 2020 incident, a Tennessee man suffered a fatal heart attack when police were rushed to his home. The state has since instituted a new law aimed at limiting this dangerous practice.
Misfits Boxing 13 broke up during the second round of a fight between Lil Cracra and Yuddy Gang, prompting police to evacuate the Worldwide Stages arena.
Spring Hill police did not answer the phone when DailyMail.com reached out for more details.

Although the video of the police running through the sand has not surfaced, KSI revealed the prank of crushing X.
“I’ve never seen an event I’m watching LIVE get squashed,” London-born KSI wrote. “America is different.”
KSI, who launched Misfits Boxing with Wasserman Boxing in 2021, claims the fly swatter helped promote the card.
“Whoever called the bomb threat did well,” he wrote. “You just made Misfits 13 one of the most talked about events.”
KSI threatened to sue the prankster: ‘The event is back and the fly swatter is going to be sued…’
The event resumed just over an hour later.
“We apologize for the brief delay,” Misfits commentator Todd Grisham explained on social media. “Basically what happened is that the local law enforcement authorities, out of an abundance of caution, asked everyone to clear the sand so they could do a thorough security check.
“They did it and were given the go-ahead, so we’ll continue with the show.”
Lil Cracra-Yuddy Gang was declared a no-contest, but the next three fights took place as scheduled.
