Headlined by a bout between Ed Matthews and a yet-to-be-named mystery opponent, MF & DAZN: X Series 012, the first Misfits Boxing card in 2024, is set to take place on Saturday, January 20, at First Direct Arena in Leeds.
Reigning Misfits women’s middleweight champ AJ Bunker will defend her title against Elle Brooke in the co-main event, while the card is littered with several other popular names and fights, such as Ashely Rak-Su vs OJ Rose, Tristan Hamm vs Not Logan Paul, Myles Rak-Su vs DTG and Chase DeMoor vs Malcolm Minikon. All-in-all, this stacks up as another can’t-miss event for fans of Misfit Boxing.
The fight is just about to start! It’s at 2:00 p.m. ET and will stream exclusively on DAZN. Here’s a rundown of everything you need to know to watch.
DAZN is the only place you can watch a live stream of X Series 012. With no DAZN free trial offered, there are three different pricing options when signing up: $30 per month with no contract, $20 per month with a 12-month contract or $225 for a year (which comes out to about $18.75 per month) if you pay up front.
While it’s unfortunate that there’s no free trial, and the price may feel steep on an initial reaction, DAZN remains a must-have for boxing fans. Not only does it include X Series 012 and every future Misfits Boxing card, but it has over 100 fights a year and is home to many of the sport’s biggest names. Amanda Serrano vs Nina Meinke (along with Jake Paul in the co-main event) on March 2 is on DAZN. Anthony Joshua vs Francis Ngannou on March 8 is on DAZN in the U.S. Canelo Alvarez and Ryan Garcia’s next fights will likely be on DAZN. There’s also a massive on-demand library of past fights, documentaries and original content, and other live sports, including Women’s Champions League.
DAZN is available in most countries, so if you find yourself outside of the United States, it still worth heading to DAZN and seeing if you can sign up. If that doesn’t work for you, you can also try a virtual private network (VPN), which masks your location and alters your IP address to allow you to stream content as if you were still in the United States. NordVPN is one of the most reliable VPN’s there is, and you can try it out with no risk since it comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Some of the best shots in Grok Imagine’s AI-made Odyssey don’t contain actors. Ancient landscapes stretch into the distance. Close-ups of grimy hands suggest people who have touched something rougher than a keyboard. For a few seconds, the illusion holds.

YouTube videos could soon look better without eating quite so much data, right? Thankfully, the platform plans to introduce a new video format called AV2 on its web player in early 2027, promising more efficient streaming and potentially fewer playback hiccups on slower internet connections. The big headline is a roughly 30% improvement in compression efficiency over AV1, YouTube's existing video format. That doesn't guarantee every video will use 30% less data, but it could make streaming a little easier on both internet connections and data allowances.
What is AV2, and why should viewers care?
YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.
YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.
