A former UFC middleweight reacted to Darren Till accusing Tommy Fury’s father, John Fury, of demanding an apology to book a fight against ‘TNT.’
Till was initially scheduled to make his boxing debut against reality TV star and boxer Tommy under Misfits Boxing on Jan. 18. However, the UK boxer withdrew from the bout, fearing an illegal MMA technique from ‘The Gorilla,’ who said during their press conference that if he were to lose, he would resort to using an illegal technique, a comment he later revealed was made purely for promotional buildup.
Darren Till then squared off against Anthony Taylor, delivering an amazing performance and securing a sixth-round TKO victory. Following the win, Till took to X and blasted John Fury, accusing him of demanding an apology. Till wrote:
“John Fury has rang a member of my team & informed us that he will only let Tommy fight me if I send a public apology to them. So I will say, I am sorry little John… Sorry that you’ve got a face like a bulldog chewing a wasp ya fat greasy lesbian!”

The X post caught the attention of former UFC star Derek Brunson, who responded with a simple one-word reaction, writing:
“Lol.”

Dana White reacts to Darren Till’s impressive victory over Anthony Taylor
Darren Till made his professional boxing debut last Saturday against Anthony Taylor in Manchester, England, delivering a dominant TKO victory in the sixth round. Till’s former boss, UFC CEO Dana White, recently reacted to the victory.
In the post-event conference of UFC 311, White was asked about Till's recent victory. The UFC head honcho revealed that he hadn’t seen the entire fight but had watched some clips on the internet. White said:
“I saw that on the internet. I never heard of the guy he fought but I guess he’s a tough guy and it was a big deal that Till beat him the way that he beat him.”
