Background
On 18 December 2023, Misfits Boxing had announced on social media that their first show in 2024 would be on 20 January 2024 and would headline HSTikkyTokky vs Tayo Ricci.[6] Originally, it was announced that X Series 12 would take place on 4 November 2023 in Austin, Texas, but was delayed for an unknown reason.[‡ 1] On 20 December the full undercard was announced on social media.[‡ 2] On 5 January however, it was announced that the headliner bout was cancelled and that HSTikkyTokky is in negotiations for a massive bout for Spring.[7] On 10 January, it was announced that English TikToker Ed Matthews would headline X Series 12 against a mystery opponent, which was later revealed as Mexican professional boxer Luis Alcaraz Pineda.[5][4]
On 12 January, Misfits Boxing president Mams Taylor announced that they have parted ways with the Professional Boxing Association (PBA) the same day that the PBA scheduled a disciplinary hearing for Matthews for 18 January.[8][‡ 3] X Series 12 would mark the first event in the UK to not be under the PBA for Misfits Boxing, and was instead sanctioned by the Polish Professional Boxing Department.[9]

Background
On 16 February, Misfits Boxing announced on social media that X Series 13 would headline FoxTheG vs Most Evil Tag Team, a tag team consisting of Evil Hero and Most Wanted.

The event was supposed to introduce 'outnumbered match' to the sport of boxing. A 2 vs 1 match where one fighter will take on a tag team duo with the rules from the 'tag team boxing' bout that Misfits Boxing head on X Series 005 returning.[14][15]
Evacuation due to bomb threat
After the second round of the YuddyGangTV vs Lil Cracra bout, the entire arena was evacuated amid reports of a possible bomb threat. The event resumed after a 78-minute delay.[16] The Spring Hill Police took to social media to confirm that the Tennessee Highway Patrol Bomb Squad were on the scene to investigate.[17] They later determined it was a case of swatting.[18]
