Former NBA players Michael Beasley and Delonte West went toe-to-toe in a boxing match last night (Fri., Oct. 16, 2026) at Brand Risk 16 from inside Brand Risk Arena in Miami, Fla., featuring a sloppy brawl that lasted just over a minute.

Believe it or not, this was a matchup that stood out on Saturday’s card that was full of unknown influencers. Beasley and West are at least former professional athletes who succeeded at the highest level. They’re obviously a shell of their former selves, but it was still a fun fight to watch on a night featuring the likes of Bob Menery, little people, and both Island Boys.

West, who has fallen on hard times in everyday life, didn’t have much energy once the fight started. He did land some haymakers and wild punches that caught Beasley’s attention, but nothing that was going to stop the fight. Beasley used his length and power to eventually score a knockdown that sent West to the canvas. It looked like West was going to be able to get up, but he ended up laying there until the referee stepped in for the TKO stoppage.
