Controversial figure Dapper Laughs eased to victory on his Misfits boxing debut with a first round victory over TikToker Simple Simon on Friday evening.<\/p>\n
The pair entered the ring at York Hall for the Misfits 11 show with Dapper Laughs – real name\u00a0Daniel O’Reilly – making his boxing debut on the preliminary card.<\/p>\n
His first bout couldn’t have been easier with the 39-year-old sending his opponent careering into the canvas just nine seconds after the bell rang.<\/p>\n
O’Reilly caught his opponent –\u00a0Simon Colbran (Simple Simon) – with three quick-fire right-hand shots during the opening seconds and that sent the 53-year-old down.<\/p>\n
Things got a whole lot worse for the TikTok star who eventually lasted just over a minute in the ring before the referee waved the fight off.<\/p>\n

Simple Simon – real name\u00a0Simon Colbran (pictured) – was well beaten on the evening<\/p>\n
Dapper Laughs made light work of his competitor, winning his debut bout in just 65 seconds having landed another crushing right-hand that proved too much for Colbran.<\/p>\n
The pair embraced at the end of the fight as Dapper Laughs had his hand raised in the ring as he marked a successful first outing on the newly formed Misfits boxing circuit.<\/p>\n
The age difference between the pair helped Dapper Laughs in his search for victory and it was obvious the younger fighter had the better stamina throughout the short-lived fight.<\/p>\n
Speaking afterwards, Dapper Laughs humbly tributed his underdog opponent for stepping into the ring at York Hall.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Posting on X, he said: ‘I feel for Simple Simon, I can only box who they put in front of me and I knew he was older and came in as the underdog.<\/p>\n
‘It didn’t feel great putting him down I’ve got to be honest but I’ve got a lot of love for him and that’s why I didn’t celebrate.<\/p>\n
‘Afterwards I gave him a big cuddle and I think he needs to be really proud of himself. The comments should be about how much bottle he’s got and that he’s keen to get in the ring.<\/p>\n
‘Ultimately he’s out there trying to make money for his family and he was game to fight me, maybe even knowing my ability was more he wanted to test himself.’<\/p>\n
