Sean Stewart, son of Grammy-winning rock star Rod Stewart, experienced a harsh introduction to professional boxing during his first official fight at Misfits Boxing's 'Duel' event in Nashville.
A modest crowd gathered to watch the event, which featured newly signed professionals and celebrity boxing matches. Sean Stewart faced well-known streamer BDave, a fan favorite and experienced influencer boxer.
Sean was described as a “gym warrior” by commentator Ben “The Bane” Davis and claimed to have trained since the age of six. Despite this history, he was quickly outmatched by BDave.
“He was a gym warrior,” said Ben “The Bane” Davis, highlighting Sean's training background.
The fight ended abruptly when “Stewart dropped his hands right in the middle of an exchange and was clipped beautifully by BDave, flopping to the ground and forcing the referee to immediately call the fight.”
Rod Stewart was performing in London and was not present in Nashville for the fight night, possibly sparing him from seeing his son’s difficult debut firsthand.
