Danny Simpson vs Danny Aarons: UK start time, live steam, TV channel as ex-Premier League ace makes Misfits boxing debut

FORMER Premier League winner Danny Aarons is back in action this summer – but not on the football pitch.

The former Manchester United star who won football’s top-flight prize with Leicester in 2016 is set to make his boxing debut.

Simpson will take on social media influencer Danny Aarons on the Misfits 17 card which KSI was originally meant to headline.

KSI was supposed to face Anthony Taylor and Slim in a two-on-one handicap match.

But the entertainment mogul will now perform a mini-concert instead, with a seven-fight bill to accompany the musical performance.

Elsewhere on the card, TikTok star HStikkytokky is in action, as is former Love Island contestant Jake Cornish.
